With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Closing a form without saving data.

I am trying to create a command that will allow me to close out of a form without saving the data. There are multi steps to get into the forms and at two points you should be able to exit without saving but neither are working the way I want them to.
Data is entered into a field that has an item not in list event. As you type if a matching record is not found, you press enter and the first MsgBox opens. (Pic 1)
The first MsgBox ask if you want to add the New Data, (Pic 2) but when you click no instead of returning to a empty field I get a message saying The text you entered isnt an item in the list, (Pic 3) I then have to press the esc key three times (First press closes the drop-down list, second press removes entered data from the field, third press makes field undirty.
Add New Inmate form has a Cancel button in case you entered the wrong data or just change your mind. When you click the button (Pic 6) the form closes but the data is not deleted from the record. I think the problem with this button is the data has already been saved (Pic 5) base on the fact that the Inmate involved form is no longer Dirty. I am not sure if I should have code to delete the record or if I can still use an undo command.
"This is a Bound Form
"Record Source = tblInmates
"On the Add New Inmate form the InmateID field is a Auto Number Field
I have post the code I am currently using. It does not work!!!

             Private Sub cmdCloseNoSave_Click()
 
            If IsNull(Me!InmateID) = False Then
            If Me.Dirty = True Then
        Me.Undo
    End If
End If
 
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
