PRB: Links Command Always Available on the Edit Menu

Article ID: Q114512
Creation Date: 05-MAY-1994
Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

The Microsoft Access Help topic "Links Command (Edit Menu)" incorrectly states that the Links command is available only if links exist in the selected object or field. This information is incorrect.

RESOLUTION

The Links command is available in a table's Datasheet view, a form's Datasheet or Form view, and a form or report's Design view, even if there are no links on the active object.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The Links command is kept available in order to improve performance by enabling Microsoft Access to not have to load OLE routines to determine whether the current object is linked every time the Edit menu is opened.

With the Links command always available, no checking is required until the Links command is chosen.
