Problem deleting

Hi,

I'm running Access 2002 and have a problem deleting records on a
continuous form.
I thought it might be due to relationships with two other tables but
having deleted these relationships, I'm still not able to delete a
record.

The code I am using is as follows:-

yn = MsgBox("Are you sure to delete all this person's details
permanently??", vbYesNo, "Save")
If yn = vbNo Then
MsgBox ("record not deleted")
Else

DoCmd.DoMenuIte m acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuIte m acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
End If
Can anyone see anything wrong?

Persistance pays!

I kept plugging away - deleting "On Current" and "On Load" events but
no difference. Then I deleted the AutoExec macro and Lo and Behold the
problem disappeared completely!

All the AutoExec does is open the form DetectIdleTime as featured in
:- http://support.microsoft.com/?id=128814

It's a neat arrangement that closes the database when no activity takes
place over a certain period of time.
I had put this in as we have a small network and from time to time
several people use it. There was a problem with record locking as some
people were keeping it open all day and doing nothing on it. We're too
small to justify SQL and all that entails so this seemed to be the
answer to our problems.

Well, Lyle, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but it's in direct
opposition to that of any real Access developer! If everyone relied on the
built in menus there wouldn't really be much need for this or any other
Access forum! The total reliance on the myriad of menus on Access with the
lack of customs buttons says to me "Amateur" or "Too Lazy to Make the
Database User Friendly!" Those menus are there primarily so that non-
programmers can develop simple dbs. To be honest, I pity your end users.

I'm a teacher using MS Access on an RMConnect 2.4 network. On some workstations both I and my students sometimes get an error message when attempting to insert a command button on a form which reads "Invalid use of null". The remainder of the options in the Command Button Wizard are then unavailable and the button wil not work. The only solution is to log on to a different workstation. Any ideas?

I have a repair and backup database routine which runs when a user closes down my application. It works fine in my development machine, but breaks on a client's at the following line: If Dir(strLDB) <> "" Then Kill (strLDB) where strLDB is the path to the ldb file. The client advises that the ldb doesn't lurk after the program closes. Any ideas?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
