My Access 2000 DB causes me problems – sometimes (haven’t pinpointed the cause) the ‘book’ form won’t close. Clicking its close button does nothing, File -> Close does nothing, even closing Access results in no action. I don’t have an OnClose handler for this form. The only workaround I can find involves opening the Vba editor, making a change to the code for that form (even adding a space and then immediately deleting the space), and then going back to close the ‘book’ form, closing it, and saying ‘no, I don’t want to save the changes’. Only then will it close. Any help?

  1. Here’s a forum post describing, I think, the same problem you face. Excerpt belows states a workaround.

    What I do is to put code on the close button that reassigns the sourceobject of any subforms to a blank form, such as:

    me!subParts.sourceobject = ‘subBlank’ ‘subBlank is my form that is totally blank, free of code and controls, etc. docmd.close acForm, ‘fParts’, acSaveNo

    The above 2 lines is the only way I’ve found to prevent the Access prompt from popping up.
