You canceled the previous operation

[JustinF]

I have a main form with buttons that launch forms for manipulating tables in
my database. I launched a form named frmEditIssues by clicking one of the
buttons and filtered the data to modify it. When I tried to shut
frmEditIssues down I was prompted to save changes and selected yes. I
clicked on the button in the main form to launch the second form again and
got the message "You canceled the previous operation". I am unable to open
or design frmEditIssues. The code that the error occurs is: DoCmd.OpenForm
"frmEditIssue", , , , acFormEdit, acWindowNormal, "/nav:2"

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Justin,
what version of access are you using?
Can you open the frmEditIssue from the database window?
Can you open the frmEditIssue in design view?
If it opens in design view, you could the form's filter, property dialog,
data tab, filter. Just delete the filter and see if the form will open.
Maybe frmEditIssue has become corrupted - can you import a copy of
frmEditIssue from your most recent backukp?
You have a recent backup don't you?
Do you have Name Autocorrect turned on? If yes, turn it off, do a compact
and repair.

I got our backup from last week and replaced all of the forms, since they
should not have been modified. Now it operates as expected.

Thanks,
Justin
