Thread: Type mismatch error when closing form

Type mismatch error when closing form Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 23 Feb 09 2:59 PM

Good afternoon! I am working with slx version 6.2.6. I have created a form that updates a custom table by clicking a Save button. I am getting the following error when I try to close the form after the table is updated. Can anyone tell me why I am getting this and how to fix it? I have the same code in my CancelButton Click sub and that works fine.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Renee

Code in error:
Account_ECCP.ModalResult = 1

Here is the error:
Type mismatch: account_ECCP at line 313 char 5

You'll need to post some of the code - but I suspect a Null.

Here is the sub that runs when I receive the Type mismatch error. I removed the coding from the update and insert statemens because it is quite long. It runs through the code and does the insert or update but then gives me the error when I try to set the modalresult to 1 in order to close the form.

Sub SaveButtonOnClick(Sender)
dim strVal
dim vdate
vdate = now
dim objSLXDB
dim objRS
Set objSLXDB = New SLX_DB
Set objRS = objSLXDB.GetNewRecordset
dim objCon
strVal = Application.GlobalInfo.TempAccount
Set objCon = Application.GetNewConnection
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM sysdba.Account_ECCP where AccountID = '"& strVal &"'"
objRS.Open strSQL, objSLXDB.Connection
if objrs.eof = false then
objCon.Execute ("UPDATE Account_ECCP SET myfields = formfield.text where AccountID = '"& strVal &"'")
Else
objCon.Execute("insert into Account_ECCP(tablefields) VALUES('"& strval &"', '"& Application.BasicFunctions.CurrentUserID &"', formfield.text)
end if

objrs.close

Account_ECCP.ModalResult = 1
End Sub

This is not the best way to do this (Insert Into) - and you are setting MyFields with FormField.Text - but this will be null during certain opening/closing of the forms. Leading to the error on 2 counts (a) you'll want to trap for this and ensure it only fires once and (b) ensure you don't post nulls (use the CheckForNulls function and isNull etc). But, either way - you'll want to stop it running more than once and also review your code to avoid the direct insert.

I'm sorry this is all very new to me. I am mostly following the way the previous developer here created his forms. If this code is called when a button is clicked on a form, how can it be running more than once? Also, where can I find out more information about the funcitons that you mentioned? Is there a good book that you can recommend that may help me?
Thanks for your guidance and help,
Renee

What is 'tablefields' in the above example.....set somewhere else?

Are any of the form controls databound?
