CancelEvent Method

Applies To

DoCmd object.

Description

The CancelEvent method carries out the CancelEvent action in Visual Basic. For more information on how the action works, see the action topic.

Syntax

DoCmd.CancelEvent

This method has no arguments.

Remarks

The CancelEvent method has an effect only when it's run as the result of an event. This method cancels the event.

All events that can be canceled in Visual Basic have a Cancel argument. You can use this argument instead of the CancelEvent method to cancel the event. The KeyPress event and MouseDown event (for right-clicking only) can be canceled only in macros, not event procedures, so you must use the CancelEvent action in a macro to cancel these events.
