Create "cancel" button on a form collecting parameters

[anders bitzer]

Hi
As new danish user in Access 2007 I have a small question.
With help from the help menu, I have created a form that collects parameters
for a report. Only thing missing is a cancel button on the form that allows
me to cancel the query.
Following the help menu I have following module in VBA, but I guess
something should be changed between the brackets.

Function IsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Boolean

Dim oAccessObject As AccessObject
Set oAccessObject = CurrentProject.AllForms(strFormName)

If oAccessObject.IsLoaded Then
If oAccessObject.CurrentView <> acCurViewDesign Then
IsLoaded = True
End If
End If

Thanks in advance for any help.
Anders

Hi Anders
Not sure how you are approaching this, but the usual way is to have a report
button on a form. The report button opens the parameter form, and you fill
in details. You then have a button on the parameter form called something
like "Preview Report" which opens the report. If you close the parameter
form, you never get to the report. If you want you can add a "Cancel" button
to the parameter form which closes the form.

Hi Neville
Thanks for answer.
I have a report and when starting this report a macro runs and opens the
form on which I give the parameters. Therefore the cancel button must stop
this macro if anyone clicks it. Anyway I will try to make in the way that you
suggest.
Thanks
Anders

One more point. Make sure you open the report before you close the form. If
you close the form first, the query will not run properly as the parameters
will be missing. You can also use the code to check the fields have been
entered before the report runs. If you are having difficulty, post a
response to this and I will see if I can help.

I suggest you break your Macro into two pieces.
The first should do all the things to open the form.
Then use the rest of the macro to do what you are doing now when you want to
run the report. In the Click event of the Cancel button, close the form.
