PRB: Cannot Exit Extend Mode in Parameters Dialog Box
'Article ID: Q92669

Creation Date: 12-NOV-1992

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


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

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

If you press the ESC key to cancel Extend mode in the Query Parameters dialog box, you cancel the dialog box, and your work is not saved.

CAUSE

Pressing the F8 key turns Extend mode on (EXT appears in the status bar). Once Extend mode is on, pressing F8 repeatedly extends the selection to the word, the field, the record (in Datasheet and Form view), and all records (in Datasheet and Form view). Pressing SHIFT+F8 reverses the selection, but will not take you out of Extend mode. Pressing ESC turns off Extend mode.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

 * 4) Click in the center of a word and press F8 to enable Extend mode.
 * 5) Press ESC to cancel Extend mode. Note that the Query Parameters dialog box is canceled.
