I want to close a form and I am using
Private Sub Form_Close()
Application.Quit
End Sub
as the form opens with the access application window hidden, and I found that the .ldb file didn't close if I simply used the X.
I have a series of fields with validation rules which activate on exit. One of these validation rules is in the box which gets focus when the form opens. This means that I get the validation text error message boxes when I close the form with the X.
If I have started to complete the form, I get a whole host of error messages and validation messages when I try to shut it with the X.
Is there a way of closing the form and cancelling or ignoring all error message boxes. I want the user to be able to close the form if they have decided not to fill it in after all, or have got part way through and want to cancel.
I would really appreciate any help, I am sure this is a very basic question and I should probably be able to find the answer, but I can't and I am very fed up!
