The database is stored on the network drive and is accessed by multiple users. One user has been having troubles just recently in using a search form I created on the database (his screenshot with the error is attached). Over the last month, when he tries to use the search form, he will occasionly get this error message. When you

click the Search button, the form is supposed to pull up a report that is based on a query that has its criteria from the form (hope that makes sense). But he (and as far as I know, only he) has been having this problem. Does anyone know what may be causing this? Has anyone seen this problem before? And, more importantly, does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Run Time error 2501 most often occurs when something is Canceled. For example, if a report is sent to the printer using the OutputReport action and the user hits cancel while it is spooling, it will return error 2501, which you can trap. Also, if the OpenForm method is called and something causes the form to cancel opening (either Cancel was set to True during open, or an unhandled error occurs, triggering Cancel = True) then error 2501 is triggered. There are other ways to

I have an order form, and when I click on a button "reports", a dialog pop ups with a list of different reports to chose from. Double-clicking selects and starts the correspondent report. On one of these reports, there is an unbound text box I need the user to enter http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1492231/access-canceling-report-generation-causes-error-2501 data with. The ControlSource of this field is set to its Name property. When the report is started, an input box appears with an OK and a Cancel button. Whenever I enter some data, all is fine. But when I click on Cancel, the app crashes and I get an errormessage: "Runtime Error 2501: The Action OpenReport has been canceled" (translated from German). The Report is called through this code: DoCmd.OpenReport vBerichtName, nAnsicht End If On Error Resume Next DoCmd.Close acForm, "F_BerichtDrucken" On Error GoTo 0 1) Why does the error handling not kick in? 2) I googled and found lots of weird solutions for this, like the official Microsoft one saying you need to install/update a printer driver (come on...). None helped. I am doing this for a friend and I normally work on linux/php,java, etc. I apologize if the solution is somewhat obvious or something like that. ms-access report share|improve this question asked Sep 29 '09 at 12:26 faboolous 1,46422553 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted Ditto to Phillipe's answer. you didn't give us the whole procedures but you need to do something like this...

I keep getting 'runtime error 2501', and I am unsure of what code to use to fix. Here is what I'm doing. Click open a report, then the report 'On Open' event triggers a form to open. This form allows user to select the parameter (in this case, the employee) to use in the query that populates the report. All works fine, and I am able to run the report for the employee I select. My problem is that I have a cancel button on my select form of which my intent is to have it cancel what I'm doing and go back to my main menu, but I am getting the runtime error. The command I have for my cancel button is 'Close'. This is my code for both the report and the form: 1. REPORT CODE Private Sub Report_Close() DoCmd.Close acForm, "Employees - Select2" End Sub Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) ' Set public variable to true to indicate that the report ' is in the Open event bInReportOpenEvent = True ' Open Employees - Select2 form DoCmd.OpenForm "Employees - Select2", , , , , acDialog DoCmd.Maximize ' Cancel report if user clicked the cancel button If IsLoaded("Employees - Select2") = False Then Cancel = True ' Set public variable to false to indicate that the ' Open event is completed bInReportOpenEvent = False End Sub 2. FORM CODE Private Sub Cancel_Click() DoCmd.Close 'Close Form End Sub Private Sub Select_Employee_Click() Me.Visible = False End Sub Can anyone tell me what my code is missing? Also, where would I put the missing code? Thanks in advance. -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com MES via AccessMonster.com, Aug 25, 2006 #1 Advertisements Allen Browne Guest The code in the Open event of the report checks to see if the form is loaded. If not it cancel's the event. The event then notifies whatever macro or code attempted to open the report that the attempt failed. It does this by raising error 2051. In effect, the error message means, "Hey, whoever asked for this report to be open: you can't keep going on the assumption that the report opened. It's been canceled." That means you need error handling in the event that opened the report. You can then trap the error number and substitute your own message, or no message at all if you wish. It will look like this: Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() On Error Goto Err_Handler DoCmd.OpenReport "Report1", acViewPreview Exit_Handler: Exit Sub Err_Handler: If Err.Number = 2501 Then MsgBox "Oops: that didn'
