cancel event if data change

[Andy]

Hi there,

I have a main form with a sub-form and code at the before update event on
the date field under the main form, I would like to bypass/cancel the before
update event if the user change the date after entry.
I mean that when the user enter the date (new record), the before update
event wil be executed. If the user change the date (immediately or after
record saved), I would lite to bypass/cancel the before update event. Hope
this clear for you.
Appreciate for your expert comments. Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to keep the user from changing the date, once it has
been added?

Why do you want to cancel the beforeUpdate event?

Hi,

The event will create a unique invoice number automatically. If the date
changed, the invoice number will be changed as well. Any comments? Thanks!

Can you alter the routine that adds the invoice number to only add the
invoice number if the invoice number is null?

If isNull([InvoiceNumber]) Then
cInvoiceNumber = DLookup("tblSystem","LastInvoiceNumber")
db.execute "UPDATE tblSystem SET [LastInvoiceNumber] =
cInvoiceNumber + 1"
Endif

'Code goes here
End If
