Save changes question when no changes made

[jjwild]

I have a form with two subforms.

When the user leaves the form, they are asked if they want to save the changes to one of the subforms. They are never asked if they want to save the changes to the other subform. This is after just entering data, no changes have been made.

If I run the same form on my PC, I never get asked the save changes question.

I know about setting SetWarnings False in the On Load event and True in the On Close event. I am concerned that SetWarnings False might hide warnings I want to know about.

What I would like to do is find out why Access thinks changes have been made to one subform and not the other and on that user's PC and not on mine.

Any ideas?

Dear jjwild,

My best guess is that your other user's PC is using a different graphic setting or you are using a font that the other user does not have installed.

So, access is making a slight adjustment and as such thinks it should ask to save the form.

Just a Guess on my part.

Good Luck,
Hap

Hap-

Interesting idea.

That leads to a possible solution even if not a graphics issue. Answer the save changes question Yes and then see if any of the subform's properties (or any of its control's properties) have changed.

Thanks,

John

In theroy then, if you save the changes once, on the PC in question, you should not then again see that same message on the PC again (for that form)

I believe this was fixed. I believe the problem was that a subform was in a space too small for it. When the form was opened and used, the subform was repositioned in its space. This caused the top and left property values to change in the parent form.

Thanks,
