hi,
the below scrip was taken from another forum member.
i have put this in the Forms / error VBA
but i still a little lost
i have set 3 fields to be indexed not to allow duplicate information (Forename, Surename, DOB)
i was then advised to error trap so it would highlight that i have enterd a duplicate record on typing in the DOB (As that as third feild to be entered)
so i then used the below script, however this doesnt highlight that it is a duplicate it just doesnt let me go on to the next record, the only time the error message is highlighted is when i go into design mode.
anyideas on where to go from here.
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
If DataErr = 3022 Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
MsgBox "Tis MerID alredy exist!"
Exit Sub
End If
If DataErr = 2169 Then
Response = acDataErrContinue
MsgBox "Tis record will not be saved!"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
