Microsoft Access failure check

[AliThePro]

When DoCmd.OpenForm with a select statement fails, Access opens a form with nothing on it. Is there any way to check if the OpenForm failed? there is no return value for openform in the documentation. I am using Access 2000

You might try checking the IsLoaded property of the Form via the Application Forms collection.

The problem is not finding out if the form is loaded, the problem is: if a record matching my SQL select statement ( an argument to DoCmd.OpenForm) does not exist, and select fails I want to know that so that I can take the appropriate action. How do I know if a record matching the select statement does not exist?

Thanks

What do you get when you check the Form.Recordset.EOF and BOF properties in the Form_Load Event?

If by this check you are trying to see if the table is empty, it is not. It just does not have the record matching the criteria in the select statement. Therefore, the form shows up as a blank form with no controls on it.

Not checking the table, but checking the form's recordset. The recordset will contains the results of the SQL statement.
