Thank you for your reply. However, I did not have any code as you mentioned
below that would turn the warnings off. I only used the standard delete
button that is created with the wizard. the odd thing is, it works in some of
the forms, and the code is exactly the same as the ones that dont work.

Private Sub Delete_Record_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Delete_Record_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
Exit_Delete_Record_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Delete_Record_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Delete_Record_Click
End Sub

I used to get a warning message before deleting a record. I no longer get
a
message, it just deletes the record immediately upon clicking the delete
button. I know I can manually add code to fix this, but I would like to
know
why it stopped working automatically. I am using Access 2007 - the
database
was converted from 2003. I tried creating a new form with the delete
button
and i do get the warning.
Is there an easy fix for this?


This commonly happens when you have code that turns the warnings off with
the statement "DoCmd.SetWarnings False", without subsequently turning them
on again with "DoCmd.SetWarnings True". People often turn off warnings so
as to execute an action query without a prompt. However, if you omit to
turn them on again, they'll stay off. It is crucial, if you turn off
warnings, that you have good error-handling inplace to ensure that there is
no way the procedure can be exited, even if an error occurs -- without
turning them on again.
