user: You are replying to All about "Switching records".

Write your reply.

assistant: I would like to be able to move to different records on a form by typing
in a code and having the form go to the record which contains that code.  The
code is the primary key of the file.  I can already do this by using an
unbound text box, doing a FindFirst on a recordset based on the form's
RecordsetClone during BeforeUpdate (or After), and then setting the form's
Bookmark to the Bookmark of the recordset. However, I want to skip the use of
the unbound text box and use a field bound directly to the code.  The trick
is, I need to cancel the update of the current record before moving to the
new record, so that a record's code doesn't get changed.  This must be done
in BeforeUpdate, and you can't move to another record in BeforeUpdate.  Also,
if you cancel BeforeUpdate, AfterUpdate doesn't happen, so I can't put the
code to switch records there.  Any suggestions, or is the first method my
only hope?  I just don't like the extra code involved in transferring the
value from the unbound text box into the invisible bound control.

   Access security is powerful but no fun to implement.  I'm no expert at it
myself, although I've done it before.  The first thing you should do is make
a backup of the current SYSTEM.MDA (or .MDW for Access 95). The last thing
you want to do is lock yourself out of Access.  (You could always reinstall,
but what a pain.)
    Use the workgroup administrator to create a new workgroup.  Give it a
file name different from SYSTEM.MDx.  Then join the workgroup.  Start Access.
   Set a password for the Admin user.  (That's who you'll currently be logged
in as.)  Exit Access and restart.  You'll have to enter the password you just
set.
   Create a new user: you.  !! ADD YOURSELF TO THE ADMINS GROUP !! Exit
Access and restart.  (Yes, this is the third time you've had to start
Access.)  Sign in as you.  If you're using Access 2.0, delete the Admin user.
 Access 95 won't let you do this, so you'll just have to remove all
permissions from Admin in that version.
   Remove key permissions from the Users group.  Add new users.  I won't go
into the full details of what permissions do.  You should be able to find
some information about them in the help file.
   The book I learned about Access security from was the Access 2 Developer's
Guide by Sams publishing.  Don't know if that helps you in Australia.... It's
an excellent book.
   There is a security wizard for Access 2.0 which can be obtained from
Microsoft.  It comes built in to Access 95.
   Hope this helps.  Feel free to ask me more.

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind, but I don't think that I will be using

I have not really wanted to get into security, but the application I

licenced by another organisation, so in order to protect the program
from modification I am forced to implement security.

In DbaseII & III you could use the command 'SET CARRY ON' (I pretty sure

last record into a new record.
This is different to a standard default value as it can change from record to
record. As an example let's say you are creating a parts master and one of
the fields like Product Group changes periodically, rather than always having
to enter or retype you only need to do it when it changes.
Does this explain it any better?

"ditto" the current field in the previous record.  You still have to do it
