PRB: Insert Event Executed by Unbound Controls
Article ID: Q109732
Creation Date: 06-JAN-1994
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1
SYMPTOMS
A form's Insert event runs when you select an unbound control on the form.
CAUSE
The Insert event is triggered when a form's dynaset is modified by any changes to the dynaset. Note that the form must be positioned on a new record for this behavior to occur.
RESOLUTION
Use other form or control properties to execute the macros you want. Be aware that the OnInsert property does not check to see whether controls are bound to the form's record source.
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
Create the following macro and save it as Macro1:

MsgBox Actions
------------------------------
MsgBox

Beep: Yes
Type: None
- Open the Customers form in Design view.
- Add an unbound check box to the form and set the form's OnInsert property to Macro1. Save the form as Cust1.
- View the Cust1 form in Form view and then choose Data Entry from the Records menu.
- Select the unbound check box. Note that the message box appears indicating that the form's OnInsert event occurred.
