Operation is not allowed when object is closed - ms-access

This is my complete code. I was able to run the code once and get the record sets export to excel, but I can't do a different operation the second time.
It looks like after the record set is closed once, its not opening again. When I search second time it giving me the above error 3704.
Basically I have a form with three text boxes to search the database and then export the record sets to excel.
I might be missing something simple as I am not an experienced programmer.

I agree with #Sobigen that none of your IFs are true the second time around. Maybe. Anyway, I think if you simplify the IFs, you might see the answer more quickly. Here's a rewrite to consider

Cannot update a textbox on a form in Access vba

I am working on an Access DB that sorts and tracks my firm's business contacts. We have a form called "Contact Profile" whereby the user can select a given contact and view all of his information: First Name, Last Name, Company, Title, Email Address, etc.
On the profile, the user can update a contact's information with the "Update Info" button.
Every single field updates just fine--with the exception of Email Address. For example, I can change Joseph Smith, Programmer at Google to Joe Smith, Program Manager at GOOG with no issues.
But if I try to change joesmith#google.com to jsmith#google.com, the change does not save. Code is posted below. Could someone please take a look and let me know if they have any suggestions? Thanks!

Moving Through Records Access VBA

I have a list of names in a subform, and on my main form I have a button that allows the user to view the "profile" of a given contact. Once in a profile, I would like there to be a button that allows the user to move to the next name in the subform (while staying the "profile" view) by clicking "next user".
In addition, the DB asks the user whether she/he wants to save changes (vbYesNo) to the profile before moving to the next user's profile. For some reason, my code works the when the user clicks "next contact" and "yes" the first time, but it will not scroll to the next contact each subsequent time the user clicks "next contact" and "yes". Note that the "next user" button works fine if the user selects "no" for when she/he does not want to save changes made to the profile.
Here is the code:

Thanks to whoever can figure this out! This has eaten up too many hours as it is.
This is not an answer, but I write it here because it does not fit in a comment. A few advises that if you have applied, would have spared you all this head-ache.
1) your code follows the pattern
If User_Says_Yes Then
Save
Fetch_Next_Record
Else
Fetch_Next_Record
Endif
This is problematic because the Fetch_Next_Record is a lot of code and it is duplicated, and you spend a lot of time to see where it differs. duplicating code is generally a very bad idea. Try to rewrite it with the following pattern:
If User_Says_Yes Then
Save
Endif
Fetch_Next_Record
2) Try to make your code shorter, by moving as much as you can to private subroutines. for example, write some Function like BuildSQL() as String, a subroutine like updateFormFromRs(rs as Recordset). In General, when any of your routines or functions get too long, say more than 20 or 30 lines, you should think of migrating some code to subroutines and functions
3) Indent your code. It is so difficult to follow your code without it.. just to see where was the Else that starts when the user says no...
4) You fetch a whole table in the recordset, just to scroll it and find one record to display that matches if intRecord = rs.AbsolutePosition? Why not use a SQL statement with a WHERE clause and load just the desired record? This is something you need to apply in any serious application with a decent amount of data.
5) statements like If rs.EOF = True Then: Simply If rs.EOF Then.
The additional = True will not make the test more strict whatsoever. as if without it we check if the condition was almost true.
Finally, even if you have possibly inherited this code from someone else, I am sure that you will have to rewrite it completely and improve it, the sooner the better. And yes, I am sure that if you follow these guidelines, you will be able to debug you code very easily.
Friendly :)

change character in all text fields

I need your help. I woulod like to change one char by another but in all database and i have several table and fields. So i'm building a function in VB but that change nothing and i have no error. I think that my condition is false but i don't see how to correct it :/
Public Sub updateField()
Dim db As DAO.Database, td As DAO.TableDef, field As DAO.field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String, sData As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Change = "\"""
replaced = """"
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
'check if String Data have my character
If InStr(1, fld.Name, Change) Then
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET " & fld.Name & " = replace([" & fld.Name & "], " & Change & ", " & replaced & ")"
db.Execute sSQL
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
EDIT :
I finally find what's wrong. if some people are interested :
Set db = CurrentDb
Change = "\"""
replaced = """"
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
If Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "MSys" And Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "~TMP" Then
If fld.Type = dbText Or fld.Type = dbMemo Then
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET " & fld.Name & " = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'" & Chr(92) + Chr(34) & "','" & Chr(34) & "')"
db.Execute sSQL
'Debug.Print (sSQL)
End If
End If
Next
Next
Thx for your help guys ;)
If it should help there my solution :
Public Sub updateField()
Dim db As DAO.Database, td As DAO.TableDef, field As DAO.field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String, sData As String, change As String, replace As String
change = "\'"
replace = "'"
' simple quote = 39
' doulbe quote = 34
' antislash = 92
' retour chariot = 13
' n = 110
' r = 114
Set db = CurrentDb
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
If Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "MSys" And Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "~TMP" Then
If fld.Type = dbText Or fld.Type = dbMemo Then
' \r\n
'sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'\r\n','" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "');"
' \"
'sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'" & Chr(92) + Chr(34) & "','" & Chr(34) & "');"
'db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'\''','''');"
db.Execute sSQL
'Debug.Print (sSQL)
End If
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
That's works for me ;)
