PRB: CTRL+C Does Not Copy SQL Statement in Windows 3.0
'Article ID: Q98799

Creation Date: 13-MAY-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

Since you cannot choose options from the Edit menu when you have a dialog box open, if you want to copy the SQL text of a query, you must press CTRL+C instead of choosing Copy from the Edit menu. However, this key combination does not work if you are running Microsoft Access with Microsoft Windows version 3.0.

CAUSE

Even though the Microsoft Access Edit menu displays CTRL+C as the equivalent for the Copy command, this key combination is defined by Windows and not by Microsoft Access. CTRL+C is a Windows 3.1 key combination. If you are running Windows 3.0, press CTRL+INS instead.

NOTE: You can use either key combination in Windows 3.1.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The following are the Edit menu options and the equivalent shortcut key combinations for Windows 3.0 and 3.1:

Edit Menu   Windows     Windows Options     3.0         3.1 --  Cut          SHIFT+DEL   CTRL+X or SHIFT+DEL Copy        CTRL+INS    CTRL+C or CTRL+INS Paste       CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS for both versions
 * }
