ACC2: Database Documentor Generates Incorrect Form Information

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q120483
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you use the Database Documentor or Print Definition command to document a form's properties, the report that is generated contains incorrect information about the report's AllowEditing and AllowUpdating properties.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The following table details the actual and reported settings for a form's AllowEditing and AllowUpdating properties: 

   Property         Actual Setting   Reported Setting
   --------------------------------------------------
   AllowEditing     Unavailable      Available
                    Available        Unavailable

   Allow Updating   Default Tables   No
                    Any Tables       1
                    No Tables        2

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.

  2. In the Database window, select the Categories form.

  3. From the File menu, choose Print Definition. In the Print Form Definition dialog box, choose OK.

  4. Note that in the resultant Object Definition report, the AllowEditing property setting is reported as Unavailable and the AllowUpdating property setting is reported as No. These are not the correct settings for these properties. The AllowEditing property is actually set to Available, and the AllowUpdating property is actually set to Default Tables.
