The Solution Rating System

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.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Determining why  Form_Unload is triggered

Asked by DcpKing in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , , , , ,

I have a form running in Access 2003. It has an Exit button with this code
=========================================================
Private Sub btnExit_Click()
'----------------------------------------
   MsgBox "Data uploaded.  Thank you!", vbExclamation, "Attention !"
   Me.Visible = False
'----------------------------------------
'    loGQuittingFromApplication is declared in Global module as a boolean.
'    loGQuittingFromApplicationset is false at form load
'----------------------------------------
   loGQuittingFromApplication = True     'means I'm leaving correctly
   DoCmd.Quit acQuitSaveAll              loGQuittingFromApplication
End Sub
=========================================================
In Form_Unload I look at loGQuittingFromApplication to see if I'm leaving from the Exit button or the "X", which I want to intercept.
=========================================================
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
'Run your "proprer form entry" code here.
   Dim vbButtonsToShow As VbMsgBoxStyle
   vbButtonsToShow = vbYesNo
   If loGQuittingFromApplication Then
      'ok to quit
   Else
      If MsgBox("Do you really wish to quit ?", vbButtonsToShow, "Confirmation Required !") = vbYes Then
           G_UpdateLogInOut strGUserID, "Qt"
           Cancel = False
      Else
           Cancel = True
      End If
   End If
End Sub
=========================================================
I find that this works fine to intercept the user when they try to leave using the "X" on the title bar of Access, but if this handler is called as a result of the Exit button causing the application to exit I find that the variable loGQuittingFromApplication has been reset to False. I find the same with a public variable declared within the form (not application-global).

Is there a reason why these variables are being reset ? Is there a "standard" way of communicating the difference between a "DoCmd.Quit " and use of the "X" button to Form_Unload() ? Start Free Trial
