ACC1x: GPF on Update Query Due to Query Design Option

Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q97004

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Update queries do not work correctly if you use the Options command on the View menu to set the Query Design option, Restrict Available Fields, to No (the default is Yes). In most cases, Microsoft Access causes a general protection (GP) fault; however, there have been isolated cases where the query completed and incorrectly updated the wrong columns in the table.

RESOLUTION

Set Restrict Available Fields to No on a query-by-query basis by clearing the Restrict Available Fields check box on the Query Properties dialog box instead of using the Options/View menu method to set this option on a global basis.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Access version 1.1.
