    No warning when deleting records

    My Ak2 databas has been running successfully for many years althogh it gets
    upgraded regularly.

    I now find on this, and other dbs, when I delete a record I no longer get
    the message "You are about to delete 1 record.....".
    What has gone wrong / got changed?

    Thanks Phil

    Did you do something like
    Docmd.SetWarnin gs = False
    in your code and not reset it back to True?

      Hi Salad,
      I wondered that and there are a couple of places where that could happen,
      but as far as I know, I have never used that bit of code

      Anway before trying the delete on a table, I typed DoCmd.SetWarnin gs True in
      the immediate window. Still have the problem

      Thanks,
      Phil

        Let's try a test. Create a dummy table. Call it Junk or whatever.
        Create 1 field and save the table and enter 4 or 5 records. Now CTRL+A
        to select the records and press the Delete key. Do you get the
        confirmation message? If so, then I'd add a couple more junk records
        and create a temp form on that table and try to delete from the form.
        If you don't get the message...time for Allen Browne.

          Thanks for coming back, Salad

          Created a new DB and Table
          Deleted records as suggested and still no warning message.
          Lets hope Allen spots this message. In the meantime I think I will remove
          Access and reload it in case it has got corrupted..

          Why is it I always seem to get unsolvable problems. For example on my Office
          machine, running a copy of the same Db as on this machine, FE & BE
          situation, I can see all the relationships as normal in the BE Db but
          therelationship s of the linked tablesdon't show in the FE.. But at least the
          warning message appears on that machine.

          I suppose the more Dbs I use, the more problems appear

          Thanks

          Phil

            Go to Tools - Options - Edit/Find Tab - Confirm - check Record changes,
            document deletions, Action queries.

              Brilliant. So simple. I should have kicked myself for not spotting it,
              though how it got changed, I don't know

              Thanks a lot
