Hi,

I am using Access 2002 under Windows XP. There's just a little thing that
bugging me...

I have a subform in datasheet view, connected to the main form with a
parent/child field.
When I show the main form using normal view, everything seems to be alright,
especially when I do a delete record.
But when the main form is shown as a dialog, then deleting records is
impossible: no confirmation dialog, however, there records disappear
visually, but only visually, because these records are still there, in the
table...

May be it's doing something wrong or just a "feature" of Access.
I would be gratefull to anyone giving me an answer...

Thanks
 
How are you deleting?

Try highlighting the record selector (left of form), and then pressing the
Del key.

You will not be able to delete through the menus if the form is opened as a
dialog.

If you are talking about deleting programmatically, try
RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
 
Allen,

Thank you for your reply.
What I did is deleting the records from the shortcut menu after selecting
the full rows.
As I said earlier, it doesn't work so I had to make the form a normal popup
window. It's not as good as it would be a dialog because I need the results
returned from the "dialog".

I can't reproduce this problem in Access 2002 (SP3).
Tried:
OpenForm "MyForm", WindowMode:=acDialog
Then right-clicked on the Record Selector, chose Cut, and it deleted fine.

Not sure what the difference is.
