Before Update on record select

[Guest]

I am getting no where fast. I have a main form and sub form and what i need
is a message to appear when user moves on to the next record using the record
selector on the bottom of the form. I have tried the beforeupdate on the form
but no results. Can form design prevent a message prompt?

You want the form Current Event. It fires each time the record changes.

That was it. I am using a code that was kindly provided from this news group
as follows:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

Resp = MsgBox("DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO NEXT CUSTOMER?", vbYesNo, "Stop!")
If Resp = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub

Message comes up but even answering the prompt with " NO" , it still allows
the user to click the recorder selector to move onto the next customer. What
needs to be changed for the message to really work?

One problem is that if no changes to the current record have been changed,
the Before Update event will not fire.
If you do make a change, the code as is should work.
I have gotten into the habbit of not using the standard record navigators,
but write my own so I can easily deal with this.

Thanks. To write code is a tad above what i am learning and i guess the
message box (even though it will not stop them) it will flag the user that
they have gone onto another customer. I appreciate the help on this.
