Disable Automatic Record Saving in Microsoft Access


 S  M  L  XL  FS  |  Slo  Reg  Fast  2x  |  Bookmark Join Now

In this Microsoft Access video tutorial I will teach you how to prevent Access from automatically saving records when you make edits unless you specifically allow it. When the user tries to leave the record, we will allow three different options. They can either accept the changes and save the record, not save the changes, or cancel leaving the record and return to editing. Once again, we'll take a look at how ChatGPT tackles this problem.

Subforms?

  • Tons of people have asked me if it's possible to do this in a subform with continuous forms and multiple child records. The answer is yes. I cover that here: Disable AutoSave Subform

Source Code

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim Response
    Response = MsgBox("Save changes. Are you sure? (Yes=Save Changes, " & _
        "No=Abort Changes, Cancel=Continue Editing)", vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, _
        "Save Changes?")
    If Response = vbYes Then
        Cancel = False
    ElseIf Response = vbNo Then
        Cancel = False
        Me.Undo
    Else
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub
