I am trying trap Runtime error 3022 (duplicates) in the click event of
a command button that closes the form. I have code in the Form_Error
event that does a good job of providing a more meaningful error message
than the default. It works in every situation except when the user
clicks the close button. I am using Me.Dirty=False to force a save but
if there are duplicates I just get the standard Runtime 3022 error
message. I am wondering why the Form_Error event is not triggered.
Here are the two relevant subs:
First the Form_Error Sub...
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Dim strMsg As String
Dim Group As String
Dim Selection As Integer
Const conDuplicateKey = 3022
Group = DLookup("[Name]", "tblGroups", "[GroupID] = " _
& Me.GroupID)
If DataErr = conDuplicateKey Then
' Don't show built-in error messages
Response = acDataErrContinue
strMsg = "You have already entered hours for " & Group & vbCr
' Show a custom error message
MsgBox strMsg, vbOKOnly, "Duplicate Value"
If Response = vbOK Then
'Me.Undo
cboGroupID.SetFocus
End If
End If
End Sub
And the Close button's Click event
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes
End Sub
I tried putting a On Error GoTo statement with a select case that
tested the Err.Number and then had similar code to Form_Error sub above
to produce a custom error message, but the standard error message was
being produced as soon as the Me.Dirty=False statement was reached. and
the On Error Go To ErrorHandler was ignored. I obvously don't
understand the sequence of events enough. Can anyone Help me out? By
the way, The Form allows entry of Volunteer Hours worked at a seniors
home by various church groups.

Why not use the BeforeUpdate event of the form and/or the entry field for
the primary key? This would alert users to a duplicate before they continue
to enter all the other info, rather than after the fact. BTW, you can set
the form's properties to remove the Close box.

Try trapping it within your close button code - use resume next
for the part that might trigger an error, and check.
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
If Me.Dirty Then
On Error Resume Next
Me.Dirty = False
If (Err.Number = 3022) Then
Err.Clear
Me.Undo
End If
On Error Goto 0 ' or use your error handler
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveYes
End Sub
I don't think the Form Error triggers by runtime errors, which is
what you'll get when firing off the save through code.

Roy, thanks for your reply, I tried your code, with a watch on
Err.Number. The standard error message was triggered as soon as the
Me.Dirty=False statement was executed. Err.Number's value still had not
changed to 3022. Shouldn't execution skip to the next statement after
the line that triggers the error in other words to the
If(Err.Number....) statement?

Ed, thanks for your reply. Strangely enough, using the close box on the
form with duplicate records does trigger my custom error message. The
problem I found was when the last record added is a duplicate. After
the combobox (cboGroupID) value is changed this changes the GroupID
field in the underlying table which is part of a multiple primary key
along with fields for the month and year. The Change event for this
combobox sets the focus in a text box to add the number of hours. If
the user enters hours in this box and then hits my close button and
hours have already been entered for this group in a previous record
then the standard Runtime error 3022 message is produced not my custom
message. If the user makes the duplicate entry and then tries to start
a new record, my message is displayed. It is only if it is the last
record before they hit my close button that the stock message gets
displayed. I have tried putting code into the before update event of
the form the combobox and numerous other events. Any ideas?

One common technique is to use the BeforeUpdate of the combobox to run a
DLookup of the underlying table and check for any matching records, then
either add it, or pop-up a msgbox and clear it.

If you are using resume next, then I think it should, could be you have
break on all errors (in VBE - Tools | Options - the General tab, set to
"Break on Unhandled Errors") - or is it another number? Something
triggered by for instance the before update event of the form?

I did have it set to "break on all errors". I didn't even think to look
at that. Between your help and Ed's my problem is solved. I really
