Form Basics

Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit

by  hermanlaksko  Posted    (Edited  )
The problem occours when updating via vba code on a priv. updated form.
Using the simple - DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord - on the form does not work, not for me anyway.

After thorough testing I find that:

If Forms!YourForm.Dirty Then Forms.YourForm.Dirty = False

Or on a subform:
Me.YourSubFrm.Form.Dirty Then Me.YourSubFrm.Form.Dirty = False


Does the trick, setting the Dirty to false forces the form to write the record to the table(s).
Why the DoCmd action does not work I am unsure of as this command should force a write to tables, however in this case only the Dirty = false does the trick.
