Access 2007 Difference, I cannot figure out how to "SetValue" 1

[bddewell408]

In previous versions, in a macro, there was a command of SetValue, argument "". I used that to clear password boxes on ONLOSTFOCUS or when using a command button to validate

I tried the SETPROPERTY in Access 2007. Couldn't get it to work

Any ideas

SetValue is actually still there, but you need to make sure the SHOW ALL MACRO ACTIONS button is pressed on the Ribbon before trying to find it.

They took something reasonably simple and contorted it. Why would you not show all macro actions from the start. I am not a programmer, therefore maybe that it is why I cannot think of one legitimate reason not to show all macro actions, just a select few.

The reason is that the ones that are hidden currently, are ones that are not considered "SAFE" (not sure exactly why they chose to go that way).
