Macro for Form HELP!!

Asked by onaled777 in Access Coding/Macros, Access Forms

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2003

This is my first try @ an access macro & I seem to me getting nowhere fast. I have a macro that is supposed to check to see if the user is trying to enter a duplicate PO number and if so erase that record and take the user to the original record. I enter this macro on the form & then when trying to test it get a data type mismatch in criteria expression error.  If anyone can take a look to let me know what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Start Free Trial
