The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Access versions 7.0, 97
SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
When you type a new record in a Microsoft Access table, query, or form,
you do not see the new record in the recordset. This may happen if the
following conditions are true:
- You have a table, query, or form that contains more than 255 records.
- You delete a record, and then insert a record into that same table,
query, or form.
- You press the TAB key or an ARROW key when you have finished typing
to move off the record.
NOTE: This same behavior occurs when you press the ENTER key and you
have selected the Move After Enter option on the Keyboard tab of the
Options dialog box on the Tools menu.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the recordset is not refreshed when you enter
the record.
RESOLUTION
In a table or query, to be able to see the newly created record, close and
then reopen the table or query.
In a form, on the Records menu, click Sort. You may choose Ascending or
Descending.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 7.0 and
97.
