ACC2000: Expression Builder Unavailable in Visual Basic Environment

ID: Q245181

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access 2000

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

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Access Expression Builder is unavailable in the Visual Basic Environment.

CAUSE

This is due to the integration of the Visual Basic Environment into Microsoft Access 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft Access Expression Builder only works within Microsoft Access. Earlier versions of Microsoft Access used a native Visual Basic editor rather than the shared Visual Basic Environment used by other Microsoft Office programs. Because the native Visual Basic editor was built into Microsoft Access directly, it was possible to use the Expression Builder within it.

Microsoft Access 2000 now uses the shared Visual Basic Environment that is used by the other Microsoft Office 2000 programs. Because the Visual Basic Environment is shared technology, the Microsoft Access Expression Builder is no longer available in the Visual Basic Environment.
