Custom Error Message

[Guest]

I received an error message that essentially asks you if you want to exit
without saving, YES or Cancel are your options. I customized this message in
vb, but now when my error pops up your only option is to say yes. How can I
keep the Cancel button that was on the original error. Below is my code.

Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
If DataErr = 3314 Then
Response = acDataErrContinue 'Don't display the default message
MsgBox "Enter data in all required fields."
ElseIf DataErr = 2169 Then
Response = acDataErrContinue 'Don't display the default message
MsgBox "Close form without saving?"
Else
MsgBox "Error#: " & DataErr 'Display the error number
Response = acDataErrDisplay 'Display default message

End If

End Sub

Thanks for any help!

Hi Justin,

You need to tell the message box what format you want it to appear in, like
this:

msgbox "something",vbExclamation + vbOKCancel

Hope this helps.

Thanks Damian! I now get the cancel button on my custom error message, but
when I select cancel it doesn't work. The form still closes no matter if I
select OK or Cancel. Do I need to add code for the cancel button? If vbCancel
= 2 Then or something similar?

thanks!
