Message on a button in Access 2003 form
Hi experts,
Below is my goal, of course it doesn't work for me like this. Could you please help?
Private Sub Command29_GotFocus()
If A=B
Then MsgBox ("Budget OK")
else MsgBox ("Please check Budget")
End if
End Sub
Thank you!

no points please.
Agree with MX that you should be using the Click event. I like to keep my code short, so I would probably use:
Private sub cmd_YourCommandButtonName_
msgbox iif(A=B, "Budget OK", "Please check budget!")
End sub

...Or in the *Click* event of the button....
As the Gotfocus event of the button is rarely used for things like this...

Hi MX, it's working on click. Thank you so much!

Hi boag2000 and fyed, you both figured out my problem as MX did. Thank you so much for your time, and I wish I could give some points. And I've tried fyed's, it's working perfectly too.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
You are welcome ...

howruaz9,
mx's code is easier to read, if you don't know what you are looking at or are new to VBA, so that is probably your best solution.
I've been writing and maintaining code for so long, I tend to take shortcuts. The problem with shortcuts is that you have to understand the pro's and con's. In this case, the IIF() function has a interesting characteristic that when the function is evaluated both the True and False expressions are evaluated, and if either of those expressions would generate an error, then the error is raised. So, the following expression would raise an error, even though the first expression evaluates to True, and should return (0.75)
A = 3
B = 4
C = 0
?iif(B>A, A/B, B/C)

Hi fyed,
I'm new to VBA, and not sure that I fully understand the following part. I've applied your IIF() Function to on click. Do I need to do something?
A = 3
B = 4
C = 0
?iif(B>A, A/B, B/C)
Thank you very much!

Let's keep it simple here guys. I realize that is a 'trick' solution, but come on ...

Hi Jeff,
Your posts always make me think, if they don't, they makes me laugh......

howruaz9,
Sorry for the confusion. Use mx's solution, it is the simplest and is easy to read.
I was attempting to impart some additional knowledge, and just muddied the waters.
Like I said above:

Thanks, fyed. It's always good to know more. No need to say sorry. For now, just like mx and you suggested, I'm using the simpliest solution to make the database work.
Thanks, everyone.
Thanks, everyone.
?
Can you post the *entire* code please, then clearly state what does, or does not happen?
Also, are you quite sure the GotFocus event is the best event for this?
(Seems to me like BeforeUpdate or AfterUpdate, of a control might be better)
This is why it is always best if you *First* explain, in detail, what your ultimate goal is ...
