Close button on a form will not close form - error 2585 - action cannot be carried out while processing a form

#1 (**permalink**) 28-Jul-2006, 08:37 AM

Hello

I have a Save button on a form which does some data processing and then
attempts to close the form like this:

DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo

But when this line is invoked get error:

Run-time error '2585'

This action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event.

How do I close my form when I have finished my processing tasks?

It's OK - I have worked it out. I put code in On Enter. If I put in
OnClick event it works.

That should work. It does for me on a simple form I just made. Is anything
else going on at this point? Is there any other events that might get fired
at the same time?

Cheers,

Chris.
