Hi all,
I notice that the Form_Dirty event does not fire in Access 2002 (SP-1) when
the first character is typed into a new record. In previous versions of
Access it does fire.
For existing records that are being edited, the event does fire.
Has this (previous) behaviour been changed by Microsoft?

I'm not seeing this behavior in Access 2002 SP3.
Are you sure the record is not being dirtied programmaticall y?

The OnDirty event only fires for bound controls, and bound forms. Also, if
VBA code makes any change to a bound form, it can prevent the Dirty event
from firing unless you specifically set Dirty to False after your code
executes.

Hi,
Thanks for responding. The form is bound to a table and it is not being
dirtied programmaticall y; I am 'just' entering a new record. That means that
both the BeforeInsert and the Dirty event should fire. The BeforeInsert
event does fire, the Dirty one does not.
I have now also seen this behaviour on another form that does not have a
BeforeInsert event. Here too the Dirty event does not get fired.
Still, this only happens in Access 2002. In Access 2000 the Dirty event gets
fired all the time (and I like that!).

I have not seen this behavior (Thankfully). I use A2002, but save my mdb as
A2000 for compatibility. Perhaps that is the difference.

Nope, same here. I am quite stumped. The workaround is, of course, to call
the Dirty event from the BeforeInsert event, but that does not really solve
the initial problem.

The "dirty event" exists only *after* A2K, no (as opposed to the
"dirty property/method")?

Setting Dirty to false will force a save of the record, not good if
you're just starting out and there are required fields not yet entered.

True. I usually fill all required fields in first by code, or set a default

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles.
Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access
2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all
the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions:
1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files?
2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?

I have a strange situation using Access to automate a Word mail merge. Using
Access 2000 and Word 2000, the code opens Word, opens the document in Word,
sets a table
in the calling Access application as the data source, and then performs a
merge. Everything works fine.
However, when a user uses it in Access 2002 and Word 2002, an extra instance
of the Access application is opened and remains open at the end. Sometimes
it remains open
