Access VBA Simple "undo" question
See my VBA which does a msgbox "beforeupdate".
Question: If I click "cancel" in the msgbox WHY does it NOT undo the change I made to the control IFGYesNocmb. Do I need to do some thing else??

Private Sub IFGYesNocmb_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If MsgBox("Confirm This Change to IFG Status", vbOKCancel, _
"OK Or Cancel") <> vbOK Then
Me.IFGYesNocmb.Undo
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

No points please.
I think you can remove the UNDO line and simply use Scott's line:
If MsgBox("Confirm This Change to IFG Status", vbOKCancel, _
"OK Or Cancel") <> vbOK Then
Cancel = True
End If

Both lines are necessary if you want to back out the change as well as cancel the update.
"Cancel = True", cancels the control/record save but does not alter the "new" value
Me.somefield.Undo, backs out the change to the specified control and resets the control to the original value.
Me.Undo, backs out the change to the current record and resets all controls to their original values.
"Cancel = True", cancels the control/record save but does not alter the "new" value

folks, I tried the "Cancel=True" but no joy.
See attached frmMain. Perhaps because it is a "combo" or perhaps the continuous form causes a complication.

I don't quite follow. Seems my code was the solution, with Pat's explanation being followup, so I'm not clear on the point award. Can you please explain why you awarded points in that manner?
