[AccessD] Error Closing Form

Virginia
Once you've closed the form you can't refer to it. It's closed. I'm not
totally clear what you're doinmg but I 'think' you need to change it to an
IF...ELSEIF construct. At the moment you're issuing the close but the rest
of the code is running, then failing because the form can no longer be
referenced. Try making it:

If PStatusID = 3 Then
    DoCmd.Close 'Request has been canceled
Else
 If Forms!frmPermitEntry.Dirty = True Then    'Data Entered?  Yes
   If Len(PRequestorID & "") = 0 Then
        MsgBox "A requestor must be entered." & vbCrLf, vbCritical, " Entry
Required"
        PRequestorID.SetFocus
    ElseIf Len(PNeedByDate & "") = 0 Then
        MsgBox "The date needed must be entered." & vbCrLf, vbCritical, "
Entry Required"
        PNeedByDate.SetFocus
    ElseIf Len(PTypeWork & "") = 0 Then
        MsgBox "The type of work must be entered." & vbCrLf, vbCritical, "
Entry Required"
        PTypeWork.SetFocus
        
    Else
         
         Response = MsgBox("Do you want to Exit?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion,
"Exit")
         If Response = vbNo Then
           PRequestorID.SetFocus
         Else
             DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
            DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmPermitEntry"
         End If
      End If

 Else
   DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmPermitEntry"
 End If
End If
