Hi
Is it possible to close a form through code from within itself without using
the form name? I just worry that form name can change and the code will stop
working.
Thanks

docmd.close without any of the optional arguments will close the currently
active window.
I always use docmd.close acform, me.name although I think I remember
reading here that people have had some sort of problems using me.name.

If you open multiple form instances (Dim f As Form_...) as opposed to using
docmd.openform, then docmd.close may close the wrong form (IIRC, it will
close the first instance).

Right. Makes sense. I believe it was Steve Jorgensen that posted his method
for managing multiple instances of the same form using a collection object.

Right. Makes sense. I believe it was Steve Jorgensen that posted his
method for managing multiple instances of the same form using a
collection object.
A nice trick he posted once (thanks Steve!) is to declare a form variable
in the module of the form that will be opened in multiple instances, and
then set that variable to the instance of the form, so that the form keeps
a reference to itself, thus staying open as long as necessary.
dim f as Form_f
set f = new Form_f
set f.Self = f
where Self is a form variable declared in f's module.
All you need to do to close the instance from code is
Set f.Self = Nothing

docmd.Close acForm,me.Name
Will do the trick. It ensures that it will close the for regardless of name. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action

What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child
forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the
controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should
execute only...

Under what circumstances would e.Cancel be set to True on entry to the

I have found that this is why my application won't close properly. I can

on entry.

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a

has a validation event for a text box. However, if one
enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the

close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation
event still triggers and it tells the user that they have
invalid data. Which of course means...

Does it make sense to put this
If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub
at the beginning of form closing events so if the user cancels the app's
exiting in one Closing routine he will not be asked again by another when
its form Closing routine is run?
I guess what I'm asking is will that work. If one form sets e.cancelled to
true will e.cancel be true when the next form receives a closing event?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
