Description

Cancel

Required

Integer

The setting determines if the Dirty event occurs. Setting the Cancel argument to True (–1) cancels the Dirty event.

Remarks

Examples of this event include entering a character directly in the text box or combo box or changing the control's Text property setting by using a macro or Visual Basic.

  • Modifying a record within a form by using a macro or Visual Basic doesn't trigger this event. You must type the data directly into the record or set the control's Text property.

  • This event applies only to bound forms, not an unbound form or report.

To run a macro or event procedure when this event occurs, set the OnDirty property to the name of the macro or to [Event Procedure].

Canceling the Dirty event will cause the changes to the current record to be rolled back. It is equivalent to pressing the ESC key.
