[RESOLVED] error: The command or action 'SaveRecord' isn't available now (MS-Access 2003)

i am using a function in a module to open a form and add lines of code to the form's module. when i try to save the form using "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord" i get the error "The command or action 'SaveRecord' isn't available now". what is stopping me from saving?

You are opening the form in design mode?

yes.
should it be opened in a different way? i was sure it needed to be design mode to edit the code in the form's module.

Can you post some relevant code?

VB Code:

Dim frm As Form, db As Database, con As Container, doc As Document
Dim mdl As Module
 
Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
Set con = db.Containers("Forms")
 
For Each doc In con.Documents
    DoCmd.OpenForm doc.Name, acDesign
    Set frm = Forms(doc.Name)
    Set mdl = frm.Module
 
    'add code to form's module here
 
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
    DoCmd.Close acForm, doc.Name
 
Next

Even though your opening the Form in design view, you actually tieing up the connection when you modify the module code that
is bound to the form. You need to try to modify it from the Application.VBE object. Checkout my CodeBank code on
"VB6 - Modify VBA Macro Code From VB". It shouldnt be too much to modify it for internal VBA use. ;)

great!

thanks for the help.
