I have the following code attached to the on close command of a form but I
get a error saying the "sub or function not defined" One step forward three
steps back!!!

hi,

I have the following code attached to the on close command of a form but I
get a error saying the "sub or function not defined" One step forward three
steps back!!!

Add appropriate line breaks:

Private Sub Form_Close()

CurrentDb.Execute "

Update [tbl-offsites]
Set ReleasedDate = Date
where [forms!frmrelease]![Vault No] = [Vault No] "

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Close()
Update [tbl-offsites]
Set ReleasedDate = Date
where [forms!frmrelease]![Vault No] = [Vault No]

End Sub

What is the datatype of [Vault No]?
Number datatype?
What is the name of the form on which this code is placed?
"frmRelease"? You can substitute the Me keyword for forms!frmRelease.

Private Sub Form_Close()
CurrentDb.Execute "Update [tbl-offsites] Set
[tbl_offsites].ReleasedDate = Date() where [tbl-offsites].[Vault No]
= " & Me![Vault No] & ";", dbFailOnError
End Sub

Text datatype?
CurrentDb.Execute "Update [tbl-offsites] Set
[tbl-offsites].ReleasedDate = Date() where [tbl-offsites].[Vault No]
= '" & Me![Vault No] & "';", dbFailOnError

You will need to put this on the form UNLOAD event if you
want it to look at the form you are closing for values... if
you wait until the CLOSE event, the form will already have
been unloaded...

Building on to what Fred gave you, I have use line
continuation sysmbols _ (just in case the lines break) and
assigned your SQL to a string so that you can debug it

dim strSQL as string
strSQL = "Update [tbl-offsites] " _
& " SET ReleasedDate = #" & Date() & "#" _
& " WHERE [Vault No] = " & nz(Me![Vault No]) & ";"
debug.print strSQL
CurrentDb.Execute , dbFailOnError

and, then, if [Vault No] is text, you will need to delimit it

& " WHERE [Vault No] = '" & nz(Me![Vault No]) & "';"

I have also used NZ (null to zero) in case the field is not
filled out

~~~~~
debug.print strSQL

--> this prints a copy of the SQL statement to the debug
window (CTRL-G)

If you have problems after you run it, open the Debug window
CTRL-G to Goto the debuG window -- look at the SQL statement

If the SQL statement has an error

1. Make a new query (design view)
2. choose View, SQL from the menu (or SQL from the toolbar,
first icon)
3. cut the SQL statement from the debug window (select it
and then CTRL-X)
4. paste into the SQL window of the Query (CTRL-V)
5. run ! from the SQL window -- Access will tell you where
the problem is in the SQL

Have an awesome day

One last question on this subject. Along with that update I want to put the
default value of the storage location. I added this code:
and [storagelocation] = [tbl-offsites]![storagelocation.defaultvalue] where
[vault No]..... but it to has problems. It that not the same format??

Sure! I do remote training -- just send me an email. I am
writing a book on VBA -- have 3 chapters done that I send
that out free for self-study to all who ask.

[Crystal]

you can reference a default value of a field like this:

currentdb.TableDefs("tbl-offsites").Fields("storagelocation").DefaultValue

as a shortcut, you can use this:

currentdb("tbl-offsites")("storagelocation").DefaultValue
