    Expired date criteria

    When I try to delete a class that has expired, I still get MsgBox "Do you really want to delete......" That message should not even appear in that case, but instead I should get "Class cannot be deleted...." Actually I get message regardless if the class expired or not. Then I get the msgbox " Class cannot be deleted...." Seems the the code is ignoring the if statement about the date all together. I want to check if the class has expired first. If expired msgbox stating that and then exit sub. If class is not expired the input box "are you sure........" should continue.

    Can someone help me out?

    If you want to evaluate the date first why not place the test code before the inputbox line of code?
    You also do not have any Error Trapping in your code, so if you do get an error you may not aware of it.

    Then the first thing to check is the value of the string selected and the value of Rs2![ExpiredDate] with a message box.
    If your code needs them to be a certain value to work then you have to check that they meet your criteria.
