How do I cancel the adding of a new record? Under certain conditions, which I will detect in the beforeUpdate event, I want to display a message and cancel the update that is in progress. I tried making a recordset clone and then using the CancelUpdate method but it said I needed an edit or addnew first. In order for this to work I would need to know the record is in update mode. It seems like there should be a simpler way.
