Trap Permissions Error

by  Garridon  Posted    (Edited  )
If you're using Microsoft Security to protect your database, some of your users will get a standard message box when they try to open a form they don't have authorization to access. This traps the error and provides a chance for you customize the message.

Insert this code into the on click procedure of the button that opens the form.

Private Sub cmdbutton_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrorcmdButton

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmName", acNormal

ExitcmdButton:
Exit Sub

ErrorcmdButton:

' Traps permissions error message
If Err = 2603 Then

MsgBox "You do not have access to this department's records"
Resume ExitcmdButton

End If

End Sub
