ACC: Paste Unavailable After Record Is Copied to Clipboard

 Last reviewed: May 7, 1997
Article ID: Q95323
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

If two users are simultaneously modifying the same record in the same table, the user who attempts to save the record last may receive the following error message: 

   Data has changed; Operation Stopped
When you click the OK button to close this message, you receive the following error message: 

   This record has been changed by another user since you started
   editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes
   the other user made.

   Copying the changes to the Clipboard will let you look at the values the
   other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to
   make changes.
You are given the option to copy the changes the other user made to the Clipboard and then view the contents in the Clipboard; however, the Paste command is unavailable in Microsoft Access.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access does not support pasting records when the focus is in a control.

RESOLUTION

You can choose Paste Append to append the record to the table; or, if you select the record you want to paste to, you can then use the Paste command (or CTRL+V).

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
