dirty (form vs. control)

D

Daniel

Good morning,

I was hoping someone could confirm my understanding of the ‘dirty’ property
and usage.

When I use Me.dirty =false within a control in a form, I am only saving that
control’s data???

I need to explicitly use something along the lines of
forms![].Form.dirty=false if I want to ensure that all the changes made on a
form are saved?

Thank you,

Daniel

"Me" refers to the form.

Therefore, the code:
Me.Dirty = False
saves the record, i.e. changes in any bound controls are written to the
table.

Thanks, but it's late afternoon here in Bavaria.

No. The data is only saved when the entire record is saved.

Yes,

Me.Dirty = False

or

Forms![].Form.Dirty = False

saves the entire record.
