onDirty Code

[tariq1]

Hi,



I am trying the code below, embedded within the OnDirty Event of teh form, so that when there is a change in form details the
command button is enabled,

however I seem to receive this error message when making an entry into a field

'The expression onDirty you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name'

Private Sub Form_Dirty()
    If Me.Dirty Then
        Me!btnUndo.Enabled = True     ' Enable button.
    Else
        Me!btnUndo.Enabled = False    ' Disable button.
    End If
End Sub

The event procedure declaration is incomplete. Should be:
Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)

The code doesn't make sense to me. Won't the procedure trigger only when the form is dirty so the True condition will always be returned and the control will never disable?

Actually, the code makes no sense to anybody!

After getting your Sub Declaration straightened out, in the Form_Dirty event you only need the one line

Me!btnUndo.Enabled = True ' Enable button.

Then, in the Form_Current event, you need

Me!btnUndo.Enabled = False

to 'reset' the state of the button.
