=?windows-1250?Q?Vladim=EDr_Cvajniga?=

A while ago we had a discussion about A2002 (sub)form which changes
dynamically from code (hide/unhide controls, change subfom's width, etc.).
There's a problem if I make some changes in code when the form is open: if I
save changes, A2002 saves controls positions & subform's size as well. This
is a BIG A2002 BUG and it's really annoying. Why Access forms don't behave
as Visual Basic forms? I don't want Access to change my (sub)forms' design
properties... grrrrrrr....

Somebody has recommended not to save changes when I'm in debug and/or(?)
break mode. Good idea, but sometimes I simply forget... today it happened
twice...

1) Do I really have to close all forms and return to database window when I
need to make changes in my "dynamic" (sub)forms?
2) Any workaround to avoid user's CtrlS on such (sub)forms? Do I really have
to add a code to Form_KeyDown events?
3) Does A2007 behave the same way?

TIA

dude your problem is really with SetWarnings

Don't ever use SetWarnings for anything and you won't have this problem

and on your Docmd.Close arguments, specify acSaveNo as the last argument
