Time Input Error Trap

[Rebecca Smith]

I'd like to trap an error if a user inputs a bogus time. The input requires
a short time format. If the user enters someting like 20:78, Access will
catch that but I'd like something of my own.
Thank.
Rebecca

Use the Form's OnError event to catch the error (2113). The following
is a VERY basic error handler:

Private Sub Form_Error(Data Err As Integer, Response As Integer)

If DataErr = 2113 And Screen.ActiveCo ntrol.Name = "TimeInput" Then
MsgBox "Invalid Time" & vbcr & _
"The Hours must be 0 to 23 and the Minutes must be 0 to 59"
End If

End Sub

Re: Time Input Error Trap

MG,
Using your code as written I still got the system error message after
closing the MsgBox. So, starting with what you gave and a very wee bit of
tweaking thanks to 'Access 97 Macro & VBA Handbook' (although my db is 2003)
I came up with:
*************** ****
Private Sub Form_Error(Data Err As Integer, Response As Integer)
Select Case DataErr
Case 2113
MsgBox strTimeErrorOne , , strDbTitle
Response = acDataErrContin ue
Case Else
Response = acDataErrDispla y
End Select
End Sub
*************** ****
Thanks for the steer in the right direction.
