This is the very first time I am using Runtime. I am using Runtime 2007 and
my Quit macro isn't working. What can I do about it?

Thanks for any replies.

What exactly are the actions in your Quit macro?

When you say "isn't working", what exactly do you mean? Do you get an error
message, or does nothing at all happen when you run it? How is the macro
invoked?

Thank you for your reply, Dirk.

The actions in my Quit macro (which works - to exit the database - on every
single other database I use OUT of Runtime) are simply Quit (and of the
options to Save or Prompt or Exit, I have selected Exit).

By not working, I mean it comes up with the following error message (THEN
paradoxically carries out the action requested):

You can't carry out this action at the present time.
You tried to run a macro or used the DoCmd object in Visual Basic to carry
out an action. However, is performing another activity that prevents this
action from being carried out now.
For example, no actions on a form can be carried out while is repainting a
control or calculating an expression.
Carry out the action later.
Then there is an OK button and when I press the OK button, I am taken out of
the database as I wanted to be immediately with no further problem, but I
don't want the error message coming up.


The macro is invoked from a switchboard.

So far, I am using my database with Runtime on a computer WITH Access 2007,
but am hoping to be able to try it out on a computer without Access tonight -
hopefully I will have the Quit problem sorted out by then. I have Runtime
and my small simple application database file (not split - I am going to try
to do it with a copy of the database split when I have mastered this unsplit
one) in the same folder.

I have made the folder that they are in, a Trusted Location.


By the way, a separate issue and much less important to me right now (but I
don't know where to go to ask about this), for many months, I haven't been
"notified of replies" even when it has been a number of days before I have
come back into
Microsoft Discussions to see if somebody has replied to a question of mine.
Do you know which forum or where else I can go to ask for help on this? Or
do you know what I can do myself? I am clicking on Notify me of replies.
When this started (but I am not sure0 possibly co-incided with the time I had
a new hard drive put into my computer, some months ago.

Thanks for any more help you or anyone else gives me.

Oh, and further to this, this is happening in 2 separate attempts to use
Runtime with the application. The first is with an accdb file and the
necessary bit before the Target to direct the system to Runtime. The second
is with an accdr file. I have the 2 attempts in 2 separate folders, both
with Runtime in them.

Sorry, sorry, me again. I may have sorted out the minor Notify me of
replies. I have just seen the little icon in the bottom right corner that
allowed me to enable Notification. Presumably that will work now. I am
really sorry if you spent any time helping me with that before you see this.

Looking forward to help on the other problem, though - my Quit macro.
