My guess is that the former error was due to factors external to the
procedure you posted.
Well, you know if the user cancelled the dialog, because intResult (set to
the return code from the .Show method) will be 0. So you could change this
line:
... to this:
If intResult = 0 Then
' The user cancelled the dialog.

First off, you probably wouldn't need to ...
The notion of a relational database is that you can put records in your
tableB that are related to records in your tableA. You would have a field
in tableB to hold a "foreign key" (check Access HELP if this term is
unfamiliar) that points back to the ID from tableA that "owns" the record in

Most of the approaches I've seen that work for this involve USB (using

Access 2007 and Server 2008

jsavi...@discussions.microsoft.com (jsaville) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:08:07 UT

I am using Windows Server 2008. I do not believe it is R2. I wish to use an
Access database on this server but it is not recognized by the ODBC system.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? BTW, I am running on a 64 bit
machine.
Thanks

I'll repeat the recommendations that you check out local community college.
Also, I know Access MVP Crystal Long does Access training; you should be
able to find her e-mail address (as well as a lot of great tutorial

The idea is:
- the user enters "Bobby Smith" and the program pops up a screen saying here
are some similar contacts "just to make sure this is not a duplicate contact
being entered". Example: Bob Smith 123 Main Street Pittsburgh PA 15230
If they knew that the "Bobby Smith" they were entering lived on Main Street

I don't see any reason why that code would fail if the user clicks Cancel on
the file dialog. I tried copying it into a module of my own (commenting out
calls to unavailable functions), and there was no problem when I clicked the
dialog's Cancel button. Are you sure that's what is happening? Have you

I'm sure you are correct. I've never worked with dates in the dd/mm/yyyy form
and so I often get confused on how Access handles the dates. That is why I
referred the poster to Allen Browne's article.

Hi, I had this before, but cant figure it out now.
Say we have a database that has a RecordID(Primary), COLLARID(Multiple),
LOCATION(NUMBERS), DATE, NOTES(text)
Example...
RecordID, COLLARID, LOCATION, DATE, NOTES

002,112,64.115X97.155,17/03/20 10,BLANK

You may not have received any responses yet because what you are proposing
is not particularly simple.
... and there are some potentially serious flaws with your analysis!
How do you expect Access to be able to correctly categorize "Bob Smith" as
duplicating "Bobby Smith" when your database could legitimately contain two

First off, you need to know if you are trying to do a one-to-one relationship
in your from subform or a one-to-many? If you have a straight one-to-one (one
item the mainform for each item in the subform) then only one will come up. A
one-to-many relationship needs to be set up where the mainform is the one and

golfin...@discussions.microsoft.com (golfinray) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:11:03 UT

What that usually means is that a datatype from excel is not the same as the
datatype in access. You may have a field in the excel sheet set as date and
you are trying to save it in access as a text field. Or a text field in excel
you have identified in access as number field. OR you have a criteria (like a

When I click a button on my form it calls the below function which opens a
dialog box and saves the link to a file.
If the user clicks cancel on the FileDialog, they get error 3314.
How can I edit the below code so if user cancels a msg wil display saying
file not selected or maybe just undo or delete the current record?
