Next Tip    Confirming Changes To Records

Users will sometimes make changes to important data and not be aware that they have made those changes.  The following subroutine can be used on most forms to come up with a confirmation message.

Open the form in design view

Select the menu item View ... Code

Go to the very bottom of the code and cut and paste the following

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' Confirm with user that this record is to be modified
  Dim updRecord As Byte  
  updRecord = MsgBox("Confirm Amounts record change", vbOKCancel, "Record Modification")
  If updRecord = vbCancel Then  
    Cancel = True    
  End If  
End Sub

You should now get a message every time you change or add a record.
