Hi,
I know that there are work arounds for getting a confirmation request before
updating records... however, this only works in a form with VBA code.

There is an option under Tools > Options > Edit/Find > Confirm Record Changes.

I saw many different versions of explanations of what it might do, but no
one seems to know what it does do. The tool tip text suggests that it would
pop-up a message box before updating a record. But it doesn't do that.

I have tried various things with this option checked/un-checked and can't
see any difference whatsoever.

Can anyone tell me (i.e., a MS developer that has access to the code) what
this does? or is it just a place holder for a function that was never
implemented?

In any case, the help text should be updated to reflect reality, there are
so many posts with people asking about this feature...

Thanks,
dgionet
