Can ECHO OFF lasting longer?

[Martin]

I use the MACRO as follows:

firstly, ECHO OFF
Secondly, run a FORM
Thirdly, echo on

Yet, I found that,before the FORM is completely opened, the access ECHO ON
( showing the access itself that I don't want it to show)

Can ECHO OFF lasting longer?


Thank you

Can ECHO OFF lasting longer?

Try calling Echo Off in the Form's Open event.

If you turn Echo off in code rather than in a macro, it stays off until you
turn it back on again. It depends on what you are trying to do, but that
might solve the problem.

BTW, you may need to become familiar with how to get yourself out of a spot
here. If you turn Echo off in code and it stays off, you can turn it back on
again blindly like this:
1. Press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window.

2. Press Ctrl+End to go to a new line.

3. Type:
DoCmd.Echo True
and press Enter.
