How is the code being called? I assume it is the result of the clicking on a button somewhere. Is there any other code being executed as well? I don't see anything in the code you posted that would cause the form to close.
Sorry the code was being called here: - Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
-
ClickOKButton
-
-
DoCmd.Close
-
Form_Jobs.Requery
-
-
End Sub
I have put the error checking in this section and removed it from the job section.it now looks like this: - Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
-
-
'***Error checking
-
If IsNull(cust_name) Then
-
MsgBox "Customer Name Must Be Entered !", vbQuestion, "CustomerName"
-
cust_name.SetFocus
-
Exit Sub
-
ElseIf Len(cust_name) < 2 Then
-
MsgBox "Name must be minimum of 2 characters", vbQuestion, "Customer Name"
-
cust_name.SetFocus
-
Exit Sub
-
ElseIf cboCashAccount = "Account" Then
-
If IsNull(account_reference) Then
-
MsgBox "Account reference must be entered because this is an account job", vbQuestion, "Account Reference"
-
account_reference.SetFocus
-
Exit Sub
-
ElseIf cboCashAccount = "Account" Then
-
If IsNull(account_password) Then
-
MsgBox "Account password must be entered because this is an account job", vbQuestion, "Account Password"
-
account_password.SetFocus
-
Exit Sub
-
End If
-
End If
-
End If
-
'***Error checking end
-
ClickOKButton
-
-
DoCmd.Close
-
Form_Jobs.Requery
-
-
End Sub
It has sorted the problem i had the form now stays open bit of a strange one really.
thanks for your help

I can't see how this code would produce the result you describe. Are you simply clicking on an OK button on your form? Or is something else going on we're not told about?
You may want to look at Debugging in VBA to see if you can narrow down where we should be looking for the problem.

Ah. It seems we overlapped in our posts.
From that information it's quite obvious what the problem was. You call ClickOKButton then, regardless of the outcome, you close the form with DoCmd.Close. Hardly surprising that it closes then ;-)
Been stressing me out for a couple weeks now then its one of those problems you sit back and look at and you can see the problem
thanks again for all your inputs and help

No worries Liam. I'm glad it's sorted anyway.

I use form validation code a lot and there is one other thing you might want to consider.
ATM, your code validates the form and either saves and closes if valid, or leaves the form open if invalid to correct.
All our data is entered by data-entry operators and if say, using your example, the account password is just not available, they have to close the form somehow, and move onto the next record.
All of our data entry forms have a button with the following code (titled 'Close without Saving') -
If Me.Dirty Then
-
If MsgBox(strTranslate("TR000000132", "Closing this form will lose all changes. Are you sure?"), vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
-
Me.Undo
-
DoCmd.Close
-
Else
-
Exit Sub
-
End If
-
Else
-
DoCmd.Close
-
End If
-

I have the code below which parses an expression string and creates tokens.
Can anyone suggest the best of error checking for things like:
Valid variable only obj.attribute -whitespace allowed
test( "ff*2/dd.r..ss r") #additional ..ss -invalid variable.
test( "ff*$24..55/ddr") #double .. and $ -invalid number
test( "ff*2/dd.r.ss r") #variable with double . -invalid variable

I've been looking but can't find out how in a form Closing event to know if
the closing is because the form's "X" had been clicked or the main form's
"X" was clicked.
That is, I need to know if just the form is closing or the application is
closing.
Do you know how to tell?

Hello,
Ok I have 2 classes in my project, one is the main form and one is a
connection class, at a certain event on my main form a new instance is
made of the connection class, and a reference to the main form is passed
to its constructor.
The connection class opens up a new thread and starts doing work in it,
and adds collected data to the main form via a (cross-thread) control
invoking delegate.
