 * }

Q96467

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

-

SYMPTOMS
You receive the following error messages when you switch a form to Datasheet view:


 * An error has occurred in your application. If you choose Ignore, you should save your work in a new file. If you choose Close, your application will terminate.
 * MSACCESS caused a general protection fault in MSACCESS.EXE.

CAUSE
A macro is assigned to the form's OnCurrent property, and the macro includes a GoToControl action that sets the focus on a control located in the page header section. There is no visible page header section when you view the form in Datasheet view.

RESOLUTION
If you are using a macro that includes a GoToControl action that sets the focus on a control located in the page header section of the form, do not view the form in Datasheet view.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Create a GoToControl macro that goes to any control on a form, and then assign the macro to the OnCurrent property of the form.
 * 2) Place this control in the page header section of the form.
 * 3) View the form in Datasheet view.
