Remove validation from save process

[Belimisimus]

Hello, everyone!

I add a "Yes" "No" "Cancel" option on the before update event of the form.

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
            answer = MsgBox("Do you want to save changes?", vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Confirm Save")
            If answer = vbNo Then
                Me.Undo
            ElseIf answer = vbCancel Then
                Cancel = True
            End If
End Sub

Also have save button on top of the form.

Private Sub Save_Click()
    On Error Resume Next
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End Sub

Is there a way to skip msgbox from BeforeUpdate in case when I click Save button? Obviously, if I click save I want to save... there is no need to ask me validation.

Hi and Welcome to Bytes.

Please remember to use the [code][/code] tags provided around your code.

What I do, is to have a private variable bSaving declared in the forms module, at the top, outside any procedure.

The Form_BeforeUpdate should then look:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
  If Not bSaving Then
    answer = MsgBox("Do you want to save changes?", _
                  vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Confirm Save")
    If answer = vbNo Then
      Me.Undo
    ElseIf answer = vbCancel Then
      Cancel = True
    End If
  End If
End Sub

With the save button:

Private Sub Save_Click()
  bSaving=True
  On Error Resume Next
  DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
  bSaving=False
End Sub

Nice and clear... the problem is solved!
I'm newbie with VBA but this was very simple even for me!

Instead of private, I add public variable, because I have multiple forms with "save", "save and new" and "close" button and everything is working just fine!
