saving data - Microsoft Access / VBA

R. Yang

Hi,
I've a question regarding saving the data. I noticed some of my
recently-entered data mysteriously disappeared. There was nowhere to
re-locate them. Plus, those data were entered within the same week. My
colleagues and I have been cautiously avoided working on the same table
simutaneously. Any reason why the data got lost?

I appreciate your advice!

All versions of Access have a serious bug where they silently lose your
entry when you close a form if there is any reason why the record cannot be
saved. Details in:
Losing data when you close a form

The other case that often catches people out is that the data can seem to
disappear from a subform if you have not set your foreign key's Required
property to No. It is actually there in the table, but never appears in the
subform again, since the null foreign key does not match any record in the
main form. Note that this happens even if you have created a relationship
with Referential Integrity.

Saving DataTable to session vs saving a Custom object.

by: John Kandell | last post by:

Hi, Would someone be able to shed some light on what is the cost of saving a DataTable to session vs saving a custom object of the same data. For example, let's say I had a DataTable with 1000 records and each record had 10 columns, how much extra cost is involved in saving that vs, a custom object with 10 get/set properties in a ArrayList holding 1000 instances of the object with the same data?
