PRB: Unexpected CTRL+HOME Behavior in Macro Design View

Article ID: Q92665
Creation Date: 12-NOV-1992
Revision Date: 30-NOV-1996 The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

If you press the key combination CTRL+HOME when you are in Design view of a new macro, the pointer may not move to the beginning of the macro, as you might expect.

CAUSE

If you click in the Action column, you are in Edit mode for the current macro line; pressing CTRL+HOME moves the pointer to the beginning of the drop-down list. If you click in any Comments column that is empty, you are already at the beginning of the field.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new macro.
Click in the Comments column of any row but the first row.
Press CTRL+HOME. Note that nothing happens. If you navigate with the arrow keys after clicking in the Comment section, pressing CTRL+HOME positions you on the first line of the macro.
