Hello all.
I am trying to avoid my users from saving filters. The fact is that
after they use or change a filter, when closing the form Access would
ask: "Do you want to save changes to the design of form?" and save the
new filter.
I've tried using Me.Filter = "" in the unload event, but Access asks
and saves BEFORE getting to the unload, and it saves the filter before
I clear it.
Also tried setting the property "Allow design changes" to "Design view
only" but functionality remains the same: users CAN change the design
(filters in this case) to the form, so it seems the property doesn't
work as intended.
I don't want to write code in a button as has been suggested to clear
the QBF grid, I just want to avoid saving the filters and being
prompted to save the form, which confuses them.
Would be glad to hear any suggestions from you.
TIA,

Perhaps you should disable the form's control box and close button.
Then add a close command button to the form. In the onclick event of
the button, put: DoCmd.Close , , acSaveNo
There is probably better solutions but this is the first one to my
mind.
Yeah, that is what I am up to, but didn't want to add a new button to
an already crowded form.
Thanks.

Why not put Me.Filter="" in the form load event?

Thanks all for your replies.
I will stay with the Open or Load events cleaning the filter, and
adding a button to close and call DoCmd.Close acSaveNo.
I couldn't use the Close event because by the time the Unload or Close
get control, the form has already been saved with the filter.
Thanks again!

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
