On Current Error Message (1 Viewer)

[Tophan]

Good Morning,

I changed an existing form to a tabbed form so I could add a second subform. This is causing an error when I first open the form which says "The expression On Current you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Return without GoSub".

The only On Current event is the following on the main form

Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.frmTaskSheetDtls.Form.cboJobName.Requery
End Sub

frmTaskSheetDtls is the original subform

The form is still working but it's just this message when I first open the form. If I close and reopen the form without closing the database the message does not appear.

I googled this and found the following.

This can occur when there is a Form_Load() event in the subform, but not the main form. Try adding an empty Form_Load() event to the main form.

This can occur when there is a Form_Load() event in the subform, but not the main form. Try adding an empty Form_Load() event to the main form.

Recent versions of Access will remove any empty procedures.
To ensure that doesn't happen in this case, add a comment line e.g.

Private Sub Form_Load()
'this is a dummy procedure as a test
End Sub

For info, empty procedures are now automatically deleted because such procedures used to prevent compiling of ACCDB files to ACCDE

I already have an event in the On Load on my main form

Upload the DB?

 

[Tophan]

I really wish I could but unfortunately I can't upload the database as it has been in use for 3 years and has some sensitive info in it.

Success. I did the following on the Before Update event and it worked!

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
this is a dummy procedure as a test
End Sub

As always...thanks for everyones help

Congratulations. Hopefully you remembered the comment quote mark at the start of the line
Somewhat surprised that using that event worked....

Yes...I had to go back and add the apostrophe. Don't know why it worked either but it did
