    Need Clarification Regarding Undo and Redo

    {NeoPa}This thread is an offshoot of Need Clarification Regarding Copy, Paste, Delete Function. Separated because we only allow one question per thread.{/NeoPa}
    Also can we do undo and redo if we deleted any row or column in access?

    In the terms of your question I would say that Undo & Redo are not possible in Access. I'm taking your question to mean in a data grid of a table or query.

    However, it is possible, when entering or otherwise changing data, to reverse all changes for the current record up to the point at which the record is saved. There are multiple ways to trigger a save but probably the most common one is simply to navigate away from the record.

    The <Escape> key will do one of two back-outs for you :
    1. If the current field has been changed - reverse the change to the current field.
    2. If the current field has not been changed, but other field(s) in the record have - reverse changes to all changed fields of the current record.
    3. If no changes are pending for the current record then it will have no effect.

    When any changes are currently pending to a record then the record indicator will show with a pencil mark.
