Question

I have a button on a form whose purpose is to add a new record to the underlying
table.

The OnClick Event code for the button looks like

  me.dirty = false

  if me.NewRecord then
     msgBox("new record")
  else
     msgBox("not new record")
  end if

  doCmd.goToRecord record := acNewRecord

The message box is needed to make sure that I am not already operating on a new record.

When I click the button, I get a Runtime error 2105 “You can’t go to the specified record”

Does someone know why this is?

Answer 1

Never Mind, I found the problem

I should have used

doCmd.goToRecord record := acNewRec

instead of

doCmd.goToRecord record := acNewRecord

Yet, why access won’t tell me that it doesn’t know about acNewRecord….

Edit: Of course David was right: I haven’t set OPTION EXPLICIT.
