Turnoff Access's "Not in List" warning

I have setup the event for NotInList to my own Msgbox, but how do i make Access's warning about the "Text you entered in not an item in the list" to go away.  I tried to put in warnings = false before my msgbox and then true after ... but that did nothing.

Change following code a little, and paste it under your Combo Event : [On Not in List]

Dim ctl As Control
Set ctl = Me!Combo5 'Change the name here
        Response = acDataErrContinue
        ctl.Undo


it will do it for you

Hi there,

The correct command to control the setwarnings is:

docmd.setwarnings False

....Your code that you want to ignore warnings from.

docmd.setwarnings true

and NOT docmd.setwarnings=false or =true

Hope this helps.

I think you should split them as my answer also works to halt the warnings.

set warnings has no effect on "not in list" messages.
