[AccessD] Lock of Record - Memofields

Gustav,
Never knew that doing a
me.dirty = false
actually saves the record on the Form

I mentioned in my first email that I would save the record on the form with a
docmd.save.

What I meant was :

docmd.runcommand accmdsaverecord

Is a
me.dirty = false
preferable to a
docmd.runcommand accmdsaverecord
?

regards
borge

Hi Borge

It tells the form to save the record using the method of the form for this purpose. More precisely, it should look:

  If Me.Dirty = True Then
    ' The record has been edited.
    ' Save the record.
    Me.Dirty = False
  End If

I'm not saying this is the magic cure. However, DoCmd operations may not always work as expected under stress, and it may be a
stress situation when you - at the same time - wish to save a record and move to the next.

Hi Gustav,
I don't get it .... please explain what the
me.dirty = false
can do in this context.
... also, I admit I didn't get David's method either...

Hi Borge

Perhaps you should avoid the indirect DoCmd.Save in favour of the method of the form itself:

  Me.Dirty = False

Also, as David mentions, and as your memos seem so tightly formatted that they should be put in a subtable, you could either do
this - or use the method of David.

Hi,

I have a problem with record locking and would like some
comments on this. This might be a bit of a long winded
explanation so bear with me....
