]]> Use code to “undo” things in Access http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2011/01/31/use-code-to-undo-things-in-access/ Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:14:00 +0000 http://vm-officeblogs.cloudapp.net/2011/01/31/use-code-to-undo-things-in-access/ One of the more common tasks on a computer is to undo something you just did by mistake. At least, it's one of my more common tasks. CTRL+Z is my friend.
But not everyone uses keyboard shortcuts - that's why there's an Undo button in the Microsoft Office user interface. Trouble is, sometimes folks just don't see it. Moreover, in Access it's possible that they can't use the toolbar because they are working on a modal form. Fortunately, you can create an "undo" button for any form in Access. And in most cases, you can control what happens when the Undo command is invoked - for example, ask for confirmation before undoing the current record on a huge data entry form.
