Flaws in Access (resource)

To help you avoid some of the more common and long-standing bugs in Access,
the page:
http://allenbrowne.com/tips.html
contains a new section entitled, "Flaws in Access".

The section currently identifies 9 problem areas, with others to be added.
It includes a sample Access 2000 database to demonstrate several of the
flaws. If you have been working with Access, you will be aware of some of
them. Our aim is to prevent you grief by pin-pointing the rocks under the
surface.

Best wishes for your Accessing in 2004.

You do receive a suitable message if you use File | Close.

It is the Close action (macro) or method (DoCmd.Close code) that loses your
entry silently.

If you use a custom toolbar, it will depend which approach you take. Easy
enough to test.

G'day

Regarding: losing data when closing a form

What about closing the form with the Close command on the menu bar?
Would it cause the problem?

Thanks

I'd like to open a discussion about the state of the industry. For the past year, I've been unable to find competent Access developers available for hire. I'm worried about that. I think there's great demand right now, and that's keeping the good developers busy, but that's not enough to explain the situation. Whenever I post an Access job, I get lots of responses from .NET developers, back-end database people, and web developers. They...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
