You should report that as a bug - it's a new one on me, although I can see how it has arisen. I have not checked the report.

Along these same lines, there is what I would consider a "bug" because it bugges me. If you open the Individual Information screen and then click the "Cancel" button without making a change the modified date does not change. However, if you click on the sources icon while in the individual information screen and review the sources without making a change, click close (the only option here), and then cancel out of the individual screen the modified date is updated. This makes that date useless since no data were changed. bgj -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Using "x" to exit/cancel - bug? No - please double check this. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc gives you the "save" question when you exit. But in Access, when you make an edit and go to the next cell, then the change is saved and there's no need to click on save to retain that edit. Make an edit in Access without changing anything else - column width, sort, etc. You will get *no* warning when you click on the "X" in the upper right corner to exit. But if you make changes to the *layout*, you'll get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to the layout of the table?" At least this is how Access 2010 worked for me when I tested this.
