Runtime Errors are not being displayed

In an Access Database, I find that runtime errors are not being displayed.

I can't figure out why. Does anyone know?

With no error-handling code in place? Maybe the VB Editor option "Break
in Class Module" is in effect. That's on the General tab of the
Tools -> Options... dialog in the VB Editor.

Thank you for the response.

My "Error Trapping" is set to Break on Unhandled Errors.

Does the problem occur throughout the database? If not, if it's only in
a particular procedure or section of code, look for a place where you
execute the statement, "On Error Resume Next". That will keep error
messages from being displayed.

If it occurs throughout the database, I can't think of a reason except
that maybe the database or its VB project has become corrupt. In that
case, your problem might be solved by decompiling the database or, at
worst, creating a new database and importing all objects from the old
database into the new one.

I found the problem. Apparently, if you turn off "Use Access Special Keys"
(in the startup dialog box), Access 2003 no longer gives any indication of
runtime errors. I verified this behavior on two different databases.

Now that I am aware of this problem, I will work around it.

Thank you for your help.

Darn! I kept thinking I was missing something. Yes, that'll do it.
