PRB: VSS Integration Dialog Box Does Not Respond to Keyboard (162932)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Access 97
This article was previously published under Q162932

SYMPTOMS

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

This article assumes that you are familiar with using the client-side capabilities of Visual SourceSafe. For more information about Visual SourceSafe, please refer to the "Visual SourceSafe User's Guide" or Help topics available from the Visual SourceSafe menu.

Visual SourceSafe integration with Microsoft Access 97 provides a user feedback dialog box for object status and actions that occur with the Source Code Control integration.

This is a special dialog box that behaves differently from other option or message dialog boxes in the product. If you happen to click on the box or a message is displayed with the indication of an error when the dialog box is present, the dialog box may remain on the screen, overlapping the Microsoft Access application.

The dialog box contains a Close button and a list of action items completed during the latest session. You cannot close the dialog box by pressing ENTER or ESC.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because of the nature of the integration with the Source Code Control components of Visual SourceSafe.

RESOLUTION

You can only close the dialog box with the pointer or by pressing ALT+F4.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Create a new database called "vssTest.mdb" (without the quotation marks).
  2. Create a new module called "modTest" (without the quotation marks).
  3. Place this database under Source Code Control by clicking SourceSafe on the Tools menu, and then clicking "Add Database to SourceSafe."
  4. Click SourceSafe on the Tools menu, and then click Show History. This will bring up two windows, the Source Code Control Results window (this is the VSS Integration dialog box) as well as the History Window.
  5. Click the Source Code Control Results window, and press ENTER or ESC. Note that nothing happens. Click the Close button in the window. Note that the window closes.
