SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
In the Properties window of a form or report, when you click a value,
such as General Number, from the drop list of the Format property, and
then click either the Format tab or the Other tab, you may receive the
following error message:
MSACCESS caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown>
If you are running Microsoft Access for Windows 95 within a Windows NT
environment, you may receive a Dr. Watson error message as follows:
An application error has occurred and an application error log is
being generated.
RESOLUTION
After you click the drop list of the Format property with the mouse
pointer, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired value, and then
press ENTER. Do not use the mouse pointer to make the selection.
You can now safely click either the Format tab or the Other tab.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 7.0.
This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access 97.
MORE INFORMATION
The page faults occur only when you use the mouse pointer to click the
desired Format property value and then the Format tab or the Other tab.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
- Open the Products form in Design view.
- Click in the UnitPrice text box.
