Except, that it doesn't work in the 2007 version.

David W. Fenton said:Uh, why wait until you've left the code window to save the form? I
always hit Ctrl-S in the code window (after compiling) and this
saves all open unsaved objects, including the form the module
belongs to. Why do you need to leave the code window to do that?
For that matter, why do you have to close the form to force the "Do
you want to save..." dialog? Why not just SAVE IT?

Interesting....I often want to open the properties but not necessary to
modify them. I often open the sheet...look, and then close.
And, since there so many options in the sheet, that one case where I
always
gone to the mouse to "select" the property...and then from that point on,
I
keyboard to change the property, close the sheet, and ctrl-w to close the
form + y to save.
So, navigation in the property sheet is tedious at best. And, as
mentioned,
I don't necessary want the focus to change to the sheet anyway. I don't
find
this worse...in fact I find it better now.
And, the once extra f6 key gets you there anyway....
Well, yes, but "normally" right after you just modified code, when you
flip
back to the form (alt-tab) you want to save the form. And, you can now do
this with one keystroke ctrl-w. I would take this set of keys over that of
having the focus return back to the prop sheet when you come back from
form
code 9 out of 10 times.
That works only when you have no subforms. Many of my forms have subforms,I wonder if something is different for you?
I simply use tab to jump to each section, and when you get to that
section...just hit ctrl-tab....and you are now inside that section. Then
use
tab....
Sure, but it far more common to "import" that is easy:
alt+x+a
Again this is the 90/10 rule.
I agree with the above. The design tab should be consistent, and it is
not.....
Hum, I don't use tabbed forms, so two f6 f6 (two quick rat tat tat) gets
me
back....
The reason for closing the form (even if it saved). is that
flipping the form from design mode into view mode is often very
instable for me due to so much code being dependence on many other
objects being initialized elsewhere in the database.

We were talking about navigation by keyboard *before* A2007, weren't
we?
I'm sorry, I thought you were discussing shortcut keys in previous
versions *and* or *vs* the 2007 version, and I just wanted to
point out that this one, which I both found usefull and perceived
as standard UI behaviour, is among those navigation options
removed from the 2007 version.
You failed to mention what you find better in a2007.
User level security works on Access 2007 mdb format too.
