ACC97: Documentation Error in "OldValue Property" Help Topic

ID: Q175961


The information in this article applies to:


SUMMARY

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

In the sample code in the Microsoft Access 97 "OldValue Property" Help topic that reads as follows, the last line before the End Sub statement (Next ctl) is incorrect:


   Sub btnUndo_Click()
      Dim ctlTextbox As Control
      For Each ctlTextbox in Me.Controls
         If ctlTextbox.ControlType = acTextBox Then
            ctlTextbox.Value = ctl.OldValue
         End If
      Next ctl
   End Sub 

The correct code is as follows:

   Sub btnUndo_Click()
      Dim ctlTextbox As Control
      For Each ctlTextbox in Me.Controls
         If ctlTextbox.ControlType = acTextBox Then
            ctlTextbox.Value = ctl.OldValue
         End If
      Next ctlTextbox
   End Sub 

Note that the correct syntax for the last line before the End Sub statement is Next ctlTextbox, not Next ctl.
