This database has a TON of macros written that the
Run Time Error 2501 The Runmacro Action Was Canceled
users utilize to help them navigate and enter data. Thus, ditching the code is not step #1 despite the fact that these macros were written in Access 97.... I've managed to get most of the code to work by removing deprecated function calls with new ones, but there are a couple of forms that still do not work correctly. If I can figure out how to resolve one I'm sure I can resolve the others. The main macro has a menu with several buttons. Whenever I click one button I get a "The OpenForm action was cancelled" error. The code for this button is as follows: Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If IsLoaded("ServiceCircuit") Then Me![PropBtn].Visible = True Else Me![PropBtn].Visible = False End If End Sub Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) If IsLoaded("ServiceCircuit") Then Forms![ServiceCircuit].Visible = True Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix].Requery Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitPrefix] Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase].Requery Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitBase] 'Forms!ServiceCircuit.Refresh Exit Sub Else If IsLoaded("DedicatedService") Then Forms![Dedicate

The cancel occurs after this line. Either the user is canceling it, or there is something in the Open Event of the form that is setting Cancel = True. I would also look at the SQL string you are assigning to the query - it is possible the SQL statement is invalid and when the form opens, it tries the query, which fails and subsequently cancels the form from opening. After you assign the SQL to the query, try to open the query. If the query opens fine, close it and try to manually open the form. have fun! Todd S. click to email Independent Development Cons

The OpenForm action was cancelled. 2501 P: n/a SDL https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/511913-openform-action-cancelled-2501-a Help! I have a system that was running fine and I was testing a bottom level form. I went from a menu to a screen where I could enter a phone number or name to https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20899777/Run-time-error-2501-OpenForm-action-was-canceled.html find a customer. If the customer name hit on more than one person ther is an interim selection screen. I have been running thru these screens for 2 days now and everything was fine and suddenly action was I get "The OpenForm actionwas cancelled." Run Time err 2501? This is happening on several of my OpenForm commands! stLinkCriteria = "CUSTOMER_ID = " & CUSTOMER_ID stDocName = "NEW INVOICE" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria stDocName="NEW INVOICE" stLinkCriteria="CUSTOMER_ID=6" As I said suddenly several similar opens are getting that same error? This is frustrating as hell as I'm fairly new to MS-Access VBA and have a very tight deadline. So far I have error 2501 the found that writing screens 20 years ago on dumb terminals with a home grown database and home grown 'CICS' with Assembler code and 3270 control characters was about the same LOL. Jul 14 '06 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 4 Replies P: n/a Allen Browne Access is informing you that the form/report did not open, so the logic in your code does not blithely proceed assuming that it is now open. If you don't care, just trap Error 2501, and ignore it. If error handling is a new concept, there's a skeleton outline in this article Error Handling in VBA at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-23a.html It also explains how to call a generic error handler that ignores the error, and logs errors if you want that too. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Posted on 2004-02-26 MS Access 1 Verified Solution 7 Comments 1,649 Views Last Modified: 2007-11-27 i have a form (frmContacts) with a command button that opens another form (frmRSVP) for data entry. If i am on a record for which frmRSVP has not been called, frmRSVP opens just fine. If, however, frmRSVP has already been opened on that record, i get run-time error2501: OpenForm action was canceled. Thanks for your help. Here's my code: **********frmContacts************ Private Sub cmdOpenRSVP_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdOpenRSVP_Click DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="frmRSVP", _ WhereCondition:="ContactID = '" & Me.ContactID & "'", _ OpenArgs:=Me.ContactID Exit_cmdOpenRSVP_Click: Exit Sub Err_cmdOpenRSVP_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdOpenRSVP_Click End Sub *************frmRSVP************** Private Sub Form_Load() Dim strResponse As String If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then Me.ContactID.Value = Me.OpenArgs End If End Sub Private Sub cmdSaveRecord_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdSaveRecord_Click DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.NAME, acSaveYes Exit_cmdSaveRecord_Click: Exit Sub Err_cmdSaveRecord_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdSaveRecord_Click End Sub 0 Question by:baker_eliz Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 77 Best Solution bypeter57r OK, you need to change the VBA options to allow error handling to operate, In the VBE go to Tools>Options, General tab and set the error handling to 'Break On Unhandled Errors'. Now try my code again.
