ACC: Close Action from Function Does Not Trigger OnClose Error

 Last reviewed: May 28, 1997
Article ID: Q89603
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

If a form's OnClose property points to a nonexistent Access Basic function, no error message is generated when you exit the form with a Close action called from an Access Basic function.

RESOLUTION

Close the form with a Close action called from a macro rather than with a Close action called from a function.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Type the following sample function CloseMe()in a new module and save it as Module1: 

          Function CloseMe()

             DoCmd Close
      End Function


  2. Create a new form and set the form's OnClose property as follows:

    

          =Bogus()

    

  3. Add a command button to the form and set the command button's OnClick
   property as follows:

    

          =CloseMe()

    
   NOTE: In Microsoft Access version 1.x, the OnClick property is called
   the OnPush property.


  4. View the form in Form view.


  5. From the File menu, choose Close. Note that you do not receive an error
   message.


  6. Open the form in Form view again. Click the command button to close the
   form. Note that you do not receive an error message even though the
   same nonexistent function is called.
