'Article ID: Q90856

Creation Date: 22-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

After a form is opened, Microsoft Access and Microsoft Windows cannot be closed (quit).

CAUSE

If there is a CancelEvent action in an OnClose macro, you will be unable to close Microsoft Access and Windows.

RESOLUTION

If a form's OnClose property specifies a macro that executes a CancelEvent action, you will not be able to close the form. You must either correct the condition that caused the CancelEvent action or open the macro and delete the CancelEvent action. If the form is a modal form, you will not be able to open the macro.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
