Clear (1 Viewer)

Is there a command or something that would clear all entries in a form (as if the user has pressed Esc)?

 

[IMO]

Put this code in the Click event of a button

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo

Couldn't make that work.
I need to put it inside a macro to clear all items in a form before closing.

Do asteroids orbit planets?

Why would you need to clear all fields before closing? Don't you want to store the data after input?

My asteroid does

it works like this..
users fills the form and clicks the button.
a new form opens, which writes values to a table, and closes.
now i want to close the original form as well (or go to a new record), however, since the form is not empty, a new record is being created in the table - and i do not want this. i thought that if i cleared the form before closing it or going to a new record i might solve the problem.

 

[IMO]

The code to add a new record is...

    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

To close the current form...

   DoCmd.Close

To close another form that is open...

    DoCmd.Close acForm, "NameOfOtherForm"
