Message box cancel NOT working

I have the following code which should prevent a user from saving the record if all of the product checkboxes are empty-they must select one-but is isn't working correctly. Thanks and appreciate any help

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSave_Click

If IsNull(Me.SPC) And IsNull(Me.SPS) And IsNull(Me.CheckFree) And IsNull(SCS) And IsNull(SIM) Then
MsgBox "You must select a Product Type", vbCancel
vbCancel = True
Else
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close

Exit_cmdSave_Click:
Exit Sub
End If

Err_cmdSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdSave_Click

End Sub

your code is pretty crazy. goto statements make the mind go numb

try this

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdSave_Click

If IsNull(Me.SPC) And IsNull(Me.SPS) And IsNull(Me.CheckFree) And IsNull(SCS) And IsNull(SIM) Then
'if its all null then just exit out of the function to give them another shot!
MsgBox "You must select a Product Type", vbOKOnly, "Error"
Exit Sub
Else
'success
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close
Exit Sub
End If

Err_cmdSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub

Thanks for the suggestion and I just relaized something. The IsNull may not work as the six boxes are checkboxes and as my husband stands here yelling at me. I am totally confused about the syntax of using checkboxes. I tried the below for just one checkbox, but it does not work either.

Private Sub Form_Close()

On Error GoTo Err_cmdSave_Click

If Me.SPC.Checkboxes.Checked = False Then
'if its all null then just exit out of the function to give them another shot!
MsgBox "You must select a Product Type", vbOKOnly, "Error"
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, acUndo, , acMenuVer70
Else
'success
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.Close

Exit Sub
End If

Err_cmdSave_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub
