Help with Event Procedure

Can someone help? I am working on an event database (based on Microsoft 2003 event database template). At present when I register attendees, I can preview an invoice which is generated based on the information I have entered.

I have set up another option to preview a Letter of Confirmation based on this same principal. As I am "Visually Basic" challenged, I simply 'copied & pasted' the event procedure and made the changes as needed to ensure the correct report was opened (ie not the Invoice report but Confirmation Letter report).

However, when I click the button to open preview the letter, the "Print Invoice" box also opens up (as it does when previewing the invoice). I don't want this box to open as I don't need to enter any details.

Can someone please have a look at my VBA event below to see what I would need to delete to stop the "Print Invoice" box from popping up.

Private Sub LOC_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click
If Me![Attendees Subform].Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Enter attendee and registration information before previewing the Confirmation Letter."
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "ConfirmationLetter", acPreview, , "[RegistrationID]=" & Forms![Attendees]![Attendees Subform].Form![RegistrationID]
End If

Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
If Err <> 2501 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click
End Sub


Many thanks for any help.

PS - Below is the original 'Preview Invoice' event that I copied:
Private Sub PreviewInvoice_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PreviewInvoice_Click
If Me![Attendees Subform].Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "Enter attendee and registration information before previewing the invoice."
Else
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.OpenReport "Invoice", acPreview, , "[RegistrationID]=" & Forms![Attendees]![Attendees Subform].Form![RegistrationID]
End If

Exit_PreviewInvoice_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_PreviewInvoice_Click:
If Err <> 2501 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_PreviewInvoice_Click
End Sub

Hi Kiwigirl007,

I hope I have this correct, but I think this is the only code required.

Code:
Private Sub LOC_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click

DoCmd.OpenReport "ConfirmationLetter", acPreview, , "[RegistrationID]=" & Forms![Attendees]![Attendees Subform].Form![RegistrationID]

Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_ConfirmationLetter_Click:
If Err <> 2501 Then
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_ConfirmationLetter_Click
End Sub

You are using the RegistrationID in the new report?

Do you need any checking on the RegistrationID before opening the new report?
