Set Action query warning's
Hi,
I have several action queries in a database which, when run, perform the action without prompting me to confirm action. The absence of a warning also applies to modifications to select queries, ie if I close down a select query which I have slightly modified to test syntax, it automatically saves select query changes without prompting me.
I have checked in the Database option tab and the "confirm action queries" tick box is checked. I have also run simple macro to Set systems Warnings to yes.
However database is still performing action queries without prompt.
ANy suggestions appreciated

Will this set the "Prompts" back on for all changes modification, not just the queries named in code? What i want to do is change database properties so that I am prompted to confirm all action query actions or simple changes to select queries on deleteing tables etc.
if I do the above do i not have to type in all action queries in database (I have several hundred in database) into the code? Will this cover simple changes to select queries which, when I close a query I don't want saved.
At the moment I/other users can do this without confirming deletions etc.

This is unrelated to any prompts or SetWarnings ... that's the good news, and there is no bad news.
See your prompts in the Options to Yes ... then you will be prompted for saving changes, deleting, etc ... the things you want to be prompted for.
Trust me ...

In other words, the Execute method is the BEST of all worlds ...
SetWarnings should be removed from Access as I see it. But in Macros (forgot those also), it's the only choice you have to avoid the annoying prompts.

BTW ... you can also do this:
Dim sSQL as String
sSQL = <SomeActionSqlString> ' delete, update, insert or makeTable
CurrentDb.Execute sSQL, dbFailOnError

Open the vba Immediate Window and enter this:
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
and hit Enter.
OR ... reboot your system. Sounds like there was a SetWarnings False w/o a SetWarnings True
