Closing Form with VBA Code

F

Frank Wagner

As the last step in a VBA procedure triggered by a form
event, I would like to close the form. When I place the
command "DoCmd.Close" in the procedure, I get error
message 2585 - - "this action can't be carried out while
processing a form event"

Is there any way around this so I can automatically close
the form?

Any help would be appreciated

Depends on the event. Which one are you using? In most events it should work
fine.

The event is "On Exit" from a text box, and the code
would come right after the user answers yes to a message
box notification.
