similar to set warnings

[Guest]

Somehow the database I support has had an option enabled that does not allow
system messages. I've used the set warnings command in macros before to
disable the messages when running macro commands. However, I've never seen
it set at a database level. I'm not prompted when I delete a table, query or
anything. How can I disable this feature?

thanks.

Dear tag:

Try this:

Navigate to Tools>Options>Edit/Find>Confirm. Make sure the following boxes
are checked: "Record Changes", "Document deletions" and "Action queries"

Very possible that the SetWarnings has been turned off via code and then
were not turned back on.

Go to Visual Basic Editor (Alt-F11) and make the Immediate pane visible
(Ctrl-G). In that window, type the following expression and then press
Enter:

DoCmd.SetWarnings True

See if this fixes the problem.

This has happened to me and I cannot get my validation text to work again. I
have set my warnings back to on and I will receive other warnings, but not my
validation text!! HELP!
