Cancel button

[Guest]

Hello,

I am looking to put a cancel button on my data entry form. When the user's
already typed something, I can Undo and Close, but if they decide to cancel
before they even enter data, I get an error message that Undo cannot be
performed.

I guess I need to check if the form has changed already or not and then
either do a straight close, or an Undo and Close.

Can I get some help with that please?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just check if the dirty flag is set to true for the form

if Me.Dirty = True then
Me.Undo
end if

Me.Close

Thank you.

Me.Close didn't work, so I'm using DoCmd.Close instead.

Hi, I'm beginner in access.
I've got the same problem which is having message about Undo cannot be
performed and if I do not use the undo button,when I close the form without
finishing their form, it's been saved also.
Where did I need to put this:

if Me.Dirty = True then
Me.Undo
end if

Me.Close

Thanks.
