Access Introduction course
Closing windows in Access
Is it generally better to use CTR W rather than the box in the extreme RHS to close windows when using Access ?
In particular when having run a report - I ahve noticed I sometimes accidentally close the entire database
RE: Closing windows in Access
Dear Joanna
Thank you for attending Access Introduction course. I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.
Shortcut keys are not everyone's cup of tea. With CTRL + W you have to be a bit careful because although in Access it close objects but it can also close the entire database.
Normally in Reports when you press CTRL+W it should only close the report and not the whole database. If you are on the Print Preview of a report you can simply press ESC key which also closes only the Report. But if you are in the Design view of the report then CTRL + W should close only the Report.
CTRL +F4 is another alternative to CTRL+W.
I hope I haven't confused you too much.
Please mark this post as resolved if it has helped in answering your query.
Kindest Regards
