Copy Record- Runtime Error (1 Viewer)

[firestorm998]

I've had a copy record button on a form for some time which functioned fine. Recently I have added the below to a combo box, which also works, but since I added it the copy record button no longer works and returns a Runtime Error -'Update of Cancelupdate without Addnew or Edit'.

I'd appreciate any suggestions,thanks.



Private Sub Event_Type_AfterUpdate()

If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_1 = "Subscribe Rights"
Else: Me.Option_1 = " "
End If
If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_2 = "Sell Rights"
Else: Me.Option_2 = "Take No Action"
End If
If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_3 = "Lapse Rights"
Else: Me.Option_3 = " If Short-Cover Short"
End If
If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_4 = "Take No Action"
Else: Me.Option_4 = " "
End If
If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_5 = "If Short-Cover Short"
Else: Me.Option_5 = " "
End If
If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
Me.Option_6 = "N/A"
Else: Me.Option_6 = " "
End If

End Sub

what is the code with the On_Click event of the button??

 

[firestorm998]

Then Copy Button 'On click' code is:
Private Sub copy_event_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_copy_event_Click


DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 2, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70 'Paste Append

Exit_copy_event_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_copy_event_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_copy_event_Click

End Sub


But when the error message pops up & I select debug it opens up the previous code I listed for the combo box after update event.

Try re-writing it like this

If Me.Event_Type = "Rights Issue" Then
   Me.Option_1 = "Subscribe Rights"
   Me.Option_2 = "Sell Rights"
   Me.Option_3 = "Lapse Rights"
   Me.Option_4 = "Take No Action"
   Me.Option_5 = "If Short-Cover Short"
   Me.Option_6 = "N/A"
Else
   Me.Option_1 = " "
   Me.Option_2 = "Take No Action"
   Me.Option_3 = " If Short-Cover Short"
   Me.Option_4 = " "
   Me.Option_5 = " "
   Me.Option_6 = " "
End If

Could someone suggest how to do the same thing without the .DoMenuItem command, which is unreliable. DoCmd doesn't seem to have a relevant method.

It would be
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord

And, if you type a space after the word RunCommand you will get the list of everything available. They should be in there.

There's a site that talks about conerting DoMenuItem commands to RunCommand
Terry Wickenden - Converting DoMenuItem to RunCommand

I had a thread a few years back that was along the lines of this thread that may have some helpful links.

Tried that Dennisk but getting same 'Update of Cancelupdate without Addnew or Edit' error.
