On This Page

SYMPTOMS

You cannot select more than one control at a time in Design view of a data access page.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is different from the Design view of forms and reports where you can select more than one control at a time.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
  2. On the View menu, point to Database Objects, and then click Pages.
  3. Open the View Products page in Design view.
  4. Select ProductID.
  5. Hold down the SHIFT key and try to click ProductName.

    Note that you are not able to select ProductName while you hold down the SHIFT key; ProductID remains selected.
  6. Try to drag the pointer over both ProductID and ProductName. Note that you cannot select multiple controls by starting at any point outside a control and drag a rectangle over the controls that you want to select.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
