New bug forces you to use task manager to close Access when you have a form bug.
I opened a form directly because I was testing and hadn't yet added it to the login form but that form wasn't open and hidden as it normally would be. When I closed the form I was testing, it tried to return control to the logon form which wasn't opened and so Access raises an error as expected.
Older versions of Access closed the form when you press End. Now access simply returns to the open form. So I tried again to close it. This time I chose debug which opens the code window to the failing instruction. I stopped the code from running and tried again to close the form. No joy. the form stays open. So I tried the "x" to close Access. It shows the same error message as above and returns me to the form that will not close. So my options are the three fingered salute or task manager. Both are really poor ways to close Access.
