ACC: Paste Unavailable After Record Is Copied to Clipboard (95323)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access 1.0
- Microsoft Access 1.1
- Microsoft Access 2.0
- Microsoft Access for Windows 95 7.0
- Microsoft Access 97
This article was previously published under Q95323 Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
SYMPTOMS
If two users are simultaneously modifying the same record in the same
table, the user who tries to save the record last may receive the
following error message:
Data has changed; Operation Stopped
When the user who tried to save the record last clicks the OK button to
close this message, the user receives the following error message:
This record has been changed by another user since you started
editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes
the other user made.
Copying the changes to the Clipboard will let you look at the values the
other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to
make changes.
However, if the second user copies the changes to the Clipboard and then
decides to paste in changes, the Paste command is unavailable in Microsoft
Access.
CAUSE
Microsoft Access does not support pasting records when the focus is in a
control.
RESOLUTION
The user can choose Paste Append to append the record to the table; or, if
the user selects the record to paste to, the user can then use the Paste
command (or CTRL+V).
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
