Before_Update event ( sub-form ) ? (1 Viewer)

[liamfitz]

I have a Cancel = True which triggers correctly, on a condition in the Before_Update event of a data field/control on a sub-form. However, the data which would have changed ( but won't now ) remains in the text box/control, and Focus stays on it. Only by closing and re-opening the form, can you 'refresh' the unchanged data ?? Any suggestions.

Use the Undo method. Example;

Private Sub YourControl_BeforeUpdate (Cancel As Integer)

'some condition is not met
Cancel = True
Me.YourControl.Undo

End Sub

That works perfectly Beetle. Thank you very much.
