<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a form that contains 1 input field on it. &nbsp;I have some vba code that is supposed to run once the user enters information in the field, then hits enter (The code is on the &quot;On Enter&quot; event procedure).<br />

How can I stop the code from running whenever I open the form?

I have a form that contains 1 input field on it.  I have some vba code that is supposed to run once the user enters information in the field, then hits enter (The code is on the "On Enter" event procedure).

However, every time I OPEN the form, the vba code tries to execute.  I only want the code to execute when the user presses enter.  

How can I stop the code from running whenever I open the form?

Stop Event code from automatically running - MS Access

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
