PRB: Alert Appears When It Shouldn't When You Run a Macro
'Article ID: Q96582

Creation Date: 22-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 create a macro, but do not save it, and then try to run another macro from the File menu, the following message appears:

? Must save macro first. Save now? The Help option states that if you choose Cancel, you will be returned to the current macro window; however, this does not happen. If you choose Cancel, the macro list appears, and you can choose another macro to run, without saving the first one. RESOLUTION

Microsoft recommends that you save your macro before you call another one to run.

STATUS

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

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Create a macro with a MsgBox action. Close and save the macro.
 * 2) Create another macro, but do not save it.
 * 3) With the second macro open, choose Run Macro from the File menu.
 * 4) When a message box prompts you to save the current macro, choose Cancel.
 * }
