[MS_AccessPros] Closing a Form with VBA

 

I have a simple three field form. the first two fields are disabled and the third is a combo. I want to test the combo to see if there are any rows in it. If there are no rows, I want to close the form, Undo, and open a different form where rows are added which the combo box can then use.

Private Sub cboSampleSpecID_GotFocus()
 If Me.cboSampleSpecID.ListCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "No specifications have been created for this Location/Application Group." & vbNewLine &        vbNewLine & _
"You will be returned to the Sample Specifications form to create new specifications.", vbOKCancel, gstrAppTitle
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmSampleGroupSpecification", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmConfigureSampleSpecDetails", acNormal, , , acFormEdit, acWindowNormal, txtLocationID
End If
End Sub

I get an error message saying I can't do this while processing a form or report event. The DoCmd.Close statement is then highlighted.

I don't know why I can't close the form in this event when I can close it using the same DoCmd as the click event for a command button.
