Using Access 2002.
I have a couple databases (out of many) that for some reason the queries, etc. do not ask if you want to save when you exit (from design mode). I can't seem to find an option in either the database or Access to "make it act normal". I just messed up a query because I thought it would ask, but just saved it instead. It must be database specific, but I can't seem to find this setting. Anyone know?
 
Huh, thats an odd one. Maybe your access is messed up? Are you sure you didnt press yes by accident?

I don't know if there is an option or not, did you check the MSDN and the help files included in access?
 
You have turned warnings off either manually or via VBA or a macro. To turn warnings back on to to Tools/Options and change the confirm options on the Edit/Find tab.

Be VERRRRRRRY careful when you turn warnings off with a macro or code. You MUST turn them back on as soon as you can. I create two subs in my databases. One to turn warnings off and the other to turn them back on. In the sub where I turn the warnings off, I turn the hourglass on and vice versa in the other sub. That way I have a visual clue that I have turned warnings off and forgotten to turn them back on.

As you have noticed, this is an extremely dangerous situation in a db where you are doing development.
