I'm using Access'97.

Is there any way to stop Access changing the layout of the SQL queries I write using the 'SQL View'? I spend an age making the query readable only for Access to change it whenever it feels like it! This drives me crazy!

Thanks in advance.

i maintain every single query outside of access in a text editor (specifically: ultraedit)

this allows for pleasant indenting, colour coding of keywords and literals, etc.

copy & paste into SQL View until the query works correctly, then save the query in access for regular execution

and don't lose the external text version :)
