MS Access 2007. When doing a simple record select and copy on a continous form, all the unbound controls in the form header get copied as well. Evidence of this is seen if you paste into Excel.
the unbound controls are in some cases, combo boxes and in some cases, text boxes
I have set properties to locked and not enabled and set tab stop to No and even re-ordered tab index. None of the above has helped.
Does anyone have an idea as my web searches so far have revealed nothing.

Clearly this is about selecting rather than copying. Copying copies what is selected.
That said, you provide no information as to what you select or how, so it's not really possible to help further at this time as far as I can see.
Thankyou for the response, Just to clarify what is selected, I am using continous forms, and the select is done on the record select button > to the left of the record. It appears that Access is treating all unbound controls in the form header as part of the record (which they are not). Just create a simple .accdb with one form that has a few text boxes in the header to illustrate the point. Just select a record and paste into Excel and you will see what I mean.
The only solution I have found, is to create an unbound subform that is filtered / requeried by the search values in the combo/ text boxes in the main form. This does work but sounds like an overely complicated solution to a simple problem.

I wouldn't make assumptions as to what should and shouldn't be selected when selecting a record the way you are. The chances are they have given the issue a lot more thought than you have, and from many more potential angles. That said, it does seem unfortunate that the unbound controls are included. Just as a thought. Many people design forms which display records where the common (Grouped) data is shown in the Header Section, whereas the changeable data is shown in the Detail Section. I suspect this was part of the reasoning for including the Header controls in the selected record. I'm just guessing at their reasoning of course. I can't say for sure.
Never mind. Have you tried selecting what you want in the old-fashioned way, by dragging over what you want with the mouse? I know that may be more complicated as I can't see the form, but I have to ask.
I have played with selections within a TextBox control, and there is code to help with that (Properties that you can play with). Unfortunately, when selecting multiple controls on a form, I don't know of any such properties available to play with. If there were any, you could possibly modify the selection with some code. Again, we're in uncharted territory here. Not something I've ever worked with before.
Thanks for your input. There are workarounds to the problem, one of which is to use split forms (a feature I don’t use often as my roots are in Access 97 and 2000 where such things did not exist). Incidentally using a split form works correctly and the unbound controls in the header are not copied. Thanks again for the assistance.

Hi:
I have developed a form, commencing with the form wizard showing in Design View. Having
developed the form partially, I wanted to put a page header on it which would contain the
controls. I set up the header in Design view, but when I switch to Form view the header
does not show. Is there something I am doing wrong or is there some switch I should sent
and have not?

Still the same application (as previous posts). I worked on the app

while at work.

Hi All,
I have a mainform with a subform in which I show some task summary
data.
On the mainform I have a number of unbound controls that reflect values
relevant to each task in the subform. The unbound controls are
populated in the subform's OnCurrent even from a number of different
tables related to the records in tbl_tasks, which is the recordset
displayed in the subform.

For some reason referencing an unbound control on an active form from a query has ceased to work correctly. While other previously existing references to unbound controls in the same form seem to work fine new ones just return null or if referencing a combo box some random character (usually a box).

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
