What, exactly, do you mean by this? The BeforeUpdate events are Access saving either a Control's data (if ControlName_BeforeUpdate) or saving the entire Record (if Form_BeforeUpdate) and, yes, there are a number of things you could be attempting here that aren't allowed, because it prevents Access from doing just that...saving the data...we really need to either see your file or at least the pertinent code to help.

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
