ACC2: AddNew Method Uses Table Default Values (115898)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q115898 Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
SYMPTOMS
The documentation for the AddNew method in Microsoft Access version 2.0,
states the following for when you add a new record using the AddNew method,
This method sets the fields to Null (the default values specified for a
table-type Recordset in Design view of the corresponding table aren't
used).
This statement is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
The documentation should state the following:
This method sets the fields to either Null or to the default value
specified in Design view of the corresponding table.
When you add a new record using the AddNew method, the default values in a
table are used since default values are enforced at the database-engine
level in Microsoft Access version 2.0. In Microsoft Access version 1.x,
default values are not used when you add a new record using the AddNew
method.
