report on close

[windandwaves]

Hi Gurus

I have a bunch of reports where I have added the following function to the
onclose event:

=FROC()

where FROC() opens a form.

However, i found that if i have a report with more than one page, froc is
executed when I go from page 1 to page 2. Is there a way to stop this from
happening?

TIA

as i added =FROC() to all my reports, could it be the case that it is
related to a subform?

If the form is opening as you go from page to page, you have something
else opening the form, not this code.

1) Writing
=FROC()
(as you have posted it) in the close event will cause a compile error.

2) If all you are doing with the function is opening a form, you don't
need a function. A function is used to return a value. No value is
being returned.

You can open it directly in the close event using:
DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName"

3) If for some reason you need to do it outside of the close event, a
sub procedure would be more suitable than a function:

Sub FROC()
DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName"
End Sub

In the Close event you would then call the procedure using:
froc

No = sign and no parenthesis.

The above will only fire when the report is closed.

I can't reproduce that if I write:
Private Sub Report_Close()
MsgBox "Report_Close"
End Sub
in a Northwind sample report. Set a breakpoint at the top of the
function and review the call stack. Something else may be calling your
function.
