Microsoft Access SetWarnings Grammer Error.

J

Joel M. Cline

Just sent the following off to Microsoft. Really confused
us for quite a while as we were stumped whether to choose
YES or NO. Found it a little funny. I don't come out to
this newsgroups though, so if you'd like to reply, please
email me!




Please enter into your support in Microsoft Access 2002
(XP) and type in the following, "set warnings action".
This will take you to the SetWarnings Action page of the
help file. Under this area there is an "Action Argument"
and Description on turning SetAction ON.

In the description area it states the following:

"Warnings On - Specifies whether system messages are
displayed. Click Yes (to turn on system messages) or No
(not to turn off system messages) in the Warnings On box
in the Action Arguments section of the Macro window. The
default is No. "

Does that sound funny to you? It's almost two negetives.
Both conclusions there lead to the same results! Yes to
turn on system messages or No to NOT turn off system
messages! Not turning them off is the same thing as
leaving them on! It's suppose to be No to not turn them
on!!!

This led me to think what I should have chosen. YES to
turn them on or NO to NOT turn them off. Hrm. Either
way, according to your descriptiong, they're going to stay
on!

A little help, a little explanation, any ideas? I think
this is a simple error, but one that might need to be
fixed and a solution found to assist users and customers
in the future!

One of our employees first found this error earlier today
and had to point it out to the rest of the staff as
Microsoft, too, makes grammer errors. Everyone makes
errors, oh, well!

Errors occur, but that's what customers are here for, to
help point them out!
Thanks,

I always use True (= Yes) and False (= No)
But if you never come here, you'll never see this.
I wonder how you posted this?

True and False are for VBA SetWarnings Method.

Joel is talking about SetWarnings Macro Action which uses Yes (to turn the
warnings on) or No (to turn the warning OFF).
