PRB: Pointer Position Unchanged in Undo Paste Command
'Article ID: Q95910

Creation Date: 01-MAR-1993

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


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you choose the Edit Undo Paste command in the Module window, the text is deleted but the pointer does not return to its original position.

CAUSE

The Undo function in Microsoft Access is very basic. It only remembers the changes to a line that have not been committed to a module. It does not maintain information on pointer position.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
 * 2) Open the Utility Functions module (or Introduction to Programming module in Version 1.x). In the Procedure box, select NullToZero.
 * 3) Select any line of text within the Module window.
 * 4) On the Edit menu, click Copy.
 * 5) In the Module window, place the pointer at the end of the line &quot;Else&quot;. Click Paste on the Edit menu. Note the position of the pointer (at the end of the string of text).
 * 6) On the Edit menu, click Undo. The text will be deleted, but the pointer will not return to the end of the line where you started the paste. It will return to the beginning of the line on which the paste was made.
 * }
