Comparing form properties

Raj Ray

5 years ago

Hi all,

Is it possible to compare two access forms and find the differences? One version of a form I am using is behaving differently from the previous version (from backup). I am trying to figure out what change causing the different behavior. Going thru every detail in the property sheet is tedious. hence wondering if anyone have some suggestions.

Thanks so much for your help,
Raj

Sorry to say but to my knowledge there isn't, with out some programming.

Your best bet is to narrow it down as much as you can by asking yourself questions to identify where to look.
What is the behavior that you like/dislike of Current Form vs Backup Copy Form?

Try taking a screen shot ( Snip & Sketch ) of the property sheets of each so you can put them side by side in a program like Paint.

It's possible, but not easy, to export a form as TEXT. I'm planning on covering this in an upcoming Developer lesson. But at this point, if you're still a beginner, I would just get out your magnifying glass and call Sherlock Holmes. :)
