[AccessD] Forcing Save from on one form from another form

Shamil:

For debugging I'm in the habit of setting a break point and then using the
F8 key to follow the execution.  As you know, in break mode, hovering the
cursor over any variable pops up the current value of the variable.  I find
that to be the most effective way to trace what's happening in a program.

As far as describing the code flow - I'll be 60 in December and well...time
is getting shorter for me.  If you catch my meaning here... :o) (IOW, it's a
bit of a mess).

Rocky,

So, .Dirty = True worked or not?

I re-tested to make sure - it works when used from outer form etc.

You might have some tricky coding (that's usual for VBA), when an event is
(indirectly) chaining a set of other events, which in turn (indirectly)
chaining other events...

Access developers are always told that MS Access VBA is single-threaded but
when events "chain-reaction" is getting activated with maybe Timer event(s)
processed somewhere in the same time then MS Access VBA interpreter goes
really "crazy", and side effects could be many and unexpected including
GPF-ing...

Check what happens in your case by using tracing debug.print or writing to a
log file, and use (static) flags to prevent unexpected/undesired code
execution sequence...

Maybe I'm exaggerating - could you describe what code flow you have?:

- what control makes subform's field's value changed and subform Dirty, and
how and in what part of you code you're trying to save subform's edits by
using .Dirty = False or calling subform's .requery method?...

Thank you.

Saving the subform record is no problem.  It's reaching over from the
sub-form into another unrelated form and saving the record there which has
had one of its bound fields changed by the sub-form. I tried requrying the
form but I get that 'Write Conflict' message.

Yes, and additionally another trick (used starting MS Access 2.0 as the
latter didn't have .Dirty property), which could be useful if your subform
has just one record - your can .Requery it to save current edits. If your
subform has several records this trick will also work but then you will have
to set the proper subform's record position - here .RecordsetClone and
.Bookmark were usually used...

Shamil:

So setting .Dirty = False saves the record?

TIA

Hi Rocky,

AFAIKR you can just use:

Access.Application.Forms.mySecondFormName.mySubFormControlName.Form.Dirty =
False

or if you have an object reference (let's call it subFormControlObjectRef)
of the second form's subform control then you can use:

subFormControlObjectRef.Form.Dirty = False

Dear List:

In a sub-form of a second form I am changing the value of a record on a
third form which is loaded and open.  That form is now dirty and I'd like to
save the record on that third form from the sub-form.  How can I force a
save on one form from another form?

 MTIA,
