PRB: Switching to SQL-Specific Query Clears Query Grid
'Article ID: Q119222

Creation Date: 10-AUG-1994

Revision Date: 01-DEC-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

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

If you open a standard (select) query, switch the query type to a SQL- specific query using the Query menu, and then switch the query back to a standard query, the original query layout will be cleared. If you switch the query back to a SQL-specific query, anything you typed in the SQL- specific query will be gone.

RESOLUTION

To recover your original query, close the query without saving it. When you open the query again, the original layout will be restored.

STATUS

This behavior is by design, and is being reviewed for consideration for change in a future release of Microsoft Access.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Open any select query in Design view.
 * 2) To switch the query to a SQL-specific query, point to SQL Specific, and then click Data Definition on the Query menu.
 * 3) To switch the query back to a select query, click Select on the Query menu. Note that the query grid has been cleared.
 * 4) If you switch back to a SQL-specific query, anything you typed in the SQL-specific query will be gone.
 * 5) Close the query without saving it.

REFERENCES
