The Openform Action Was Cancelled Access 2010
up How to prevent “OpenForm action was cancelled” in legacy Access Code up vote 2 down vote favorite 1 I recently took over a VERY old Access database. This database has a TON of macros written that the 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 the openform action was canceled access 2013 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![DedicatedService].Visible = True Forms!DedicatedService.Refresh Exit Sub End If If IsLoaded("Property") Then Forms![Property].Visible = True Forms!Property.Refresh Exit Sub End If End If End Sub Private Sub GRC_GotFocus() Me![GRC].Requery End Sub Private Sub PropBtn_Click() DoCmd.Close If IsLoaded("ServiceCircuit") Then Forms![ServiceCircuit].Visible = True DoCmd.Close 'Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix].Requery 'Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitPrefix] 'Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase].Requery 'Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitBase] 'Forms!ServiceCircuit.Refresh Exit S

A form was working fine, and now all of a sudden I'm getting this message: The OpenForm Action was Canceled. That's it!! No error codes, form names, or any other information. How am I supposed https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/86b0f8f8-e100-4a53-a178-9b9230b28095/the-openform-action-was-canceled?forum=accessdev to remedy that? It is ruining an application that I put many hours into so far. Access 2010. What is even stranger is that if I step through the code in the VBA debugger, it works. ANSWER: Since it worked if I stepped through the code, I thought it must be a timing issue. I was setting the filter property in the OnActivate, and I think it was doing it twice before the first one finished. I added a DoEvents at the start of the OnActivate code, and it solved the issue. I wish the error message "The OpenForm Action was Canceled" contained more information.

The OpenForm action was https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/511913-openform-action-cancelled-2501-a cancelled. 2501 P: n/a SDL 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 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 action was days now and everything was fine and suddenly 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 openform action was to MS-Access VBA and have a very tight deadline. So far I have 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.

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.
