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!

Runtime Error 2585 (this action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event)

Asked by hennessym in Access Forms, Microsoft ADP, Access Reports

Tags: , , ,

I have a command button (cmdPurchaseOrderPrint) on my form (Orders) that opens a print dialog box for a report.  When I click 'ok' to print the form I see Error # 2585, This action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event.  Debugging reveals the offending statement is RunCommand acCmdPrint.    

Here's the code behind the click event of the command button:
DoCmd.OpenReport "PurchaseOrder", acViewPreview

And here's the code behind the on open event of the report:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)

On Error GoTo Error_Handling:

Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection

Dim rstOrders As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String

If CurrentProject.AllForms("Orders").IsLoaded = False Then
    Dim OrderNum As String

Get_Input:
    OrderNum = InputBox("Enter Order #")
    If OrderNum <> "" Then
        strSQL = "SELECT Order_Num FROM tblOrders WHERE Order_Num = '" & OrderNum & "' "
        rstOrders.Open (strSQL), cn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
        If rstOrders.EOF = True Then
            MsgBox "Order #" & OrderNum & " Not Found!", vbCritical
            rstOrders.Close
            GoTo Get_Input
        Else
            strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblOrders WHERE Order_Num = '" & OrderNum & "' "
            Me.RecordSource = strSQL
        End If
    Else
        End
        DoCmd.Close
    End If

Else
    strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblOrders WHERE Order_Num = " & Forms!Orders!Order_Num
    Me.RecordSource = strSQL
    RunCommand acCmdPrint    
End If

Exit Sub

Error_Handling:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then  'user canceled print dialog box
    End  
Else
    MsgBox Err.Number
    MsgBox Err.Description
End If

End Sub

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
