Re: access 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Since Microsoft did not instruct me to remove the
Me.FilterOn = False, Me.Requery I was puzzled and could not
understand the need for this portion and wondering if I had missed
something. In short, I believed more was to yet to be revealed as a
result of discovery or further explaination with regard to upgrade or
corrections from Acess 97 to Access 2000 or Access 2003.
I expected a patch from Microsoft to solve this problem. Your
synopsis of the filters actions and goals confirmed my thought process.

I think your expectation is spot on - that a patch will, eventually, be the
order of the day. (But we'll have to wait and see.)

As you know, I'm getting the same behaviour in Access 2002. Therefore, it
seems Microsoft have inadvertently introduced a product change sometime
after Access 97 and before Access 2002. It must be inadvertent because the
Access 2002 online help system continues to assert (as expected) that:

"You can remove a filter by ... using Visual Basic to set the FilterOn
property to False."

If this is a general issue, then I guess Microsoft will need to consider
what customer advice or patches they need to provide and for what products.

Very, very interesting. Well done. Please keep the newsgroup posted.

Regards
Geoff
