Re: Access module does not continue past the Filter Method

I have begun to consider whether AllowBreakIntoCode is enabled, but I am
having trouble accessing it. The program that I wrote is:

Sub SetStartupProperties()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim prpNew As DAO.Property
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set prpNew = dbs.CreateProperty("AllowBreakIntoCode", dbBoolean, True)
Debug.Print "Before the Append Statement"
dbs.Properties.Append prpNew
Debug.Print "After the Append Statement"
End Sub

The program makes it to "Before the Append Statement", but does not make it
to the "After the Append Statement".

I have another program that loops through all of the properties, printing
them to the debug window. "AllowBreakIntoCode" is not one of the properties.
Any ideas?

I have added a Debug.Print to the top of the routine and it does execute.

I successfully put a breakpoint on the top Debug.Print line, but when I run
the program it does not suspend execution at the breakpoint. It proceeds
right past the breakpoint, as if it were not there.

One thing I did notice: After I click the "Reset" Button (that looks like a
stop button), the subroutine executes perfectly. I take this to mean that
something needs to be reset. But, the "Reset" Button seems to reset global
variables, which I do need. So, that is not really an option.

Thanks again for your help.

executing.

Then put a break point on the top Debug.Print line (by pressing F9.) When it
breaks, press F8 to single-step through the code, so you can see where it is
going.

Allen,

Thank you for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but neither
fixed my problem. I did verify that the "decompile" switch did decompile
my
program. I also added the "Dirty" code, but this problem appears even
when
the record is not "Dirty".

Nonetheless, I had not thought of either of your suggestions, and I
appreciate your help. Please let me know if you have any other
suggestions.

Decompile a copy of the database by entering something like this at the
command prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and
include
the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
Then compact the database.

You have not actully set the FilterOn property. Additionally, it may not
work as expected if the form is dirty with a record that cannot be saved
(e.g. required field missing, or validation rule not met.)

Try something like this:
Public Sub Apply_Tech_Filter()
With Forms![Technical Form]
If .Dirty Then .Dirty = False
.Filter = "RequestType = 1"
.FilterOn = True
End With
Debug.Print "Past the Filter"
End Sub

(We are assuming that RequestType is a Number type field.)

I have a subroutine in an Access Module that creates and applies a
filter.
When I call the subroutine, it does apply the filter, giving no error
messages. But, the program stops after the filter is applied. It does
not
continue to process subsequent commands. Please provide any insight
into
why
this is happening.

The code is:

Public Sub Apply_Tech_Filter()
Dim RequestType As Integer
Request_Type = 1
Forms![Technical Form].Filter = "RequestType = " & Request_Type
Debug.Print "Past the Filter"
End Sub

PROBLEM: It does not proceed to the "Debug.Print" Line.
NOTE: RequestType is a field on the "Technical Form" Form.
