Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve this issue I have.

I have a form that gives me a run-time error when i navigate from the form
which is annoying but the worse part is a dialog box pops up with an "End"
and "DEBUG" buttons.

I wondered if there was a way to deactivate the debug button so the only
option is to click end? I would rather a program that ignores the error
altogether but i'm not sure how to incorporate that into the code i have.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
 
No. Place an On Error statement in the code and the error will then execute
specific code that you write as the error handler, and no VB window will even
appear.
 
Thanks Dennis, I was afraid of that. i am not too good at writing the code so
I am pasting the code I'm using below (i got it from this site and it works
great). Please let me know exactly where to put the error handler as the code
appears to have one already.

I'd like to ignore the error which is "you entered an expression that
requires a form to be the active window. No action is required.

Here is the code which I use to quit Access when a main form has been
inactive for 40 minutes. Thanks again for your assistance!

Private Sub Form_Timer()
'Sub Form_Timer()
' IDLEMINUTES determines how much idle time to wait for before
' running the IdleTimeDetected subroutine.
Const IDLEMINUTES = 40

Static PrevControlName As String
Static PrevFormName As String
Static ExpiredTime

Dim ActiveFormName As String
Dim ActiveControlName As String
Dim ExpiredMinutes

On Error Resume Next

' Get the active form and control name.

ActiveFormName = Screen.ActiveForm.Name
If Err Then
ActiveFormName = "No Active Form"
Err = 0
End If

ActiveControlName = Screen.ActiveControl.Name
If Err Then
ActiveControlName = "No Active Control"
Err = 0
End If

' Record the current active names and reset ExpiredTime if:
' 1. They have not been recorded yet (code is running
' for the first time).
' 2. The previous names are different than the current ones
' (the user has done something different during the timer
' interval).
If (PrevControlName = "") Or (PrevFormName = "") _
Or (ActiveFormName <> PrevFormName) _
Or (ActiveControlName <> PrevControlName) Then
PrevControlName = ActiveControlName
PrevFormName = ActiveFormName
ExpiredTime = 0
Else
' ...otherwise the user was idle during the time interval, so
' increment the total expired time.
ExpiredTime = ExpiredTime + Me.TimerInterval
End If

' Does the total expired time exceed the IDLEMINUTES?
ExpiredMinutes = (ExpiredTime / 1000) / 60
If ExpiredMinutes >= IDLEMINUTES Then
' ...if so, then reset the expired time to zero...
ExpiredTime = 0
' ...and call the IdleTimeDetected subroutine.
IdleTimeDetected ExpiredMinutes
End If
End Sub
 
Note that "On Error Resume Next" simply continues execution of the code in
the event of an error. Even if you have cascading errors, you'll never know.

In order to figure out what you'd need to do, I'd need to know EXACTLY which
line gets the yellow highlight when you attempt to navigate away.
 
Thanks for that info. However, the current On Error statement should take
care of your issue. I'm not sure why it would generate an error anyway. What
action do you WANT to take if that line generates an error (other than having
an error dialog pop-up)?

And it is NOT just moving on through the code as-is?
 
Dennis,
I'd rather not have a dialog box pop up at all.
For example (unrelated example) I have a button on a form that runs a macro
when the user enters info in a text box then clicks said button (save).
Sometimes the users clicks the button without entering any info and they get
an error...i'd rather nothing happens if someone clicks the button when the
field was blank
thanks
