 Error Handling, Access 2010 |
 Dec 28 2017, 05:35 PM Post#1 | |
Posts: 5,152 Joined: 2-November 04 From: Downey, CA  | I have a form with a button to exit (quit) my database after dropping a table - but if the database is opened later, and the table hasn't been re-instated - there will be an error that the table does not exist - is there a way I can deal with this through error handling ? I wouldn't know where to begin.... CODE cmdExitDatabase_Click() DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' Don't want error if table doesn't exist 'Delete 'Invoice Approvals' table - when data is exported from Sharepoint, want it to go in a table named "Invoice Approvals" MsgBox "Warning! 'Invoice Approvals' table will be deleted upon exit - if you are finished, that's ok", vbYesNoCancel DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Invoice Approvals" DoCmd.Quit DoCmd.SetWarnings True Any help would be greatly appreciated.... |

Public Function DeleteTable() If TableExists("Invoice Approval") Then DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Invoice Approval" End If End Function ...adding back the other code items you are using as well ... I would also suggest (although it does not affect this solution) that you eliminate the space from the object name ... just saying ...

How do I set up the TableExists function ? it says function not defined - as for the spaces, yeah, it just comes out that way, and the cost/ben. doesn't work out to take out the space, because someone else is going to be administering this db |

I have that already done, but am not in my office right now. I'll check back when in my home office and see if I need to post the demo for you.

Posts: 5,152 Joined: 2-November 04 From: Downey, CA | I spoke too soon - now it's erring - all I did was change two of the module names - now I'm getting an error: QUOTE The expression you entered has a function name that Microsoft Access Can't Find What??? Why would it err just because I changed the module names ?See attached db - I have it set up for a form (the only form) to open on Startup - when I click the "Exit Database" button, there's code behind the button to run the DeleteTable() function, which calls the TableExists function you shared with me - it's supposed to DROP the "Invoice Approvals" table if that table exists - not send me a Nastygram :-( grrr... I've attached the db, if you want to look.... EDIT: Found this: "Note: You can't call a Function procedure from a macro if the function name is the same as the module name. ... well, butter my butt and call me toast.... WHO KNEW ???? - Never mind..... This post has been edited by bakersburg9: Jan 4 2018, 06:26 PM Attached File(s) |
