I recently upgraded to Windows 11. I'm fully updated and have the latest Office 365 updates as well. Unfortunately, I'm finding that my "DoCmd.SetWarnings True" VBA actions no longer work in all my legacy Access apps. The action still works fine on my Windows 10 and Server 2019 devices. Anyone else experiencing this (or other VBA issues?)

Thanks!

What does it do or not do? Does it not issue warnings when you expected it to? Or does it issue a warning when you tell it to enable warnings? Or something else?

I wrote a small app for testing:

strSQL = "Update tblTest Set Field2 = #" & Now & "#"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

On my Windows 10 and Server 2019 devices, Windows displays a warning message (after line 3) that 1 record is being updated (see attached screen shot) which is what I want to happen. However, this is not working under Windows 11.

where do you set warnings false?

your turning them on with set warnings true

Code:
DoCmd.SetWarnings false

strSQL = "Update tblTest Set Field2 = #" & Now & "#"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

DoCmd.SetWarnings True

edit: you want the message? don't bother with the set warnings.

All,

Keep in mind that this isn't a coding issue. Many of my apps have been around for years.

The issue is that these apps display the desired warnings on previous versions of Windows but not on Windows 11.

I'm just curious whether anyone has seen anything unusual in Windows 11 with regard to VBA? The culprit could be my new Dell XPS laptop.

The default is true.
You are correct.

I just ran this 2-line script:

strSQL = "Update tblTest Set Field2 = #" & Now & "#"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

Message displayed under Windows 10 and Server 2019, but not Windows 11.

can't say I've ever experienced it but I've never used runsql. I prefer .execute method.

Might you have messed inadvertently with the Access Options?

under 'Advanced' there is:

It may look a bit different on your version of Access

Yep! "Action queries" was disabled. Enabled it and all works fine. Since I know I didn't disable it, I wonder if installing MS 365 on my new laptop (or perhaps a recent update) disabled it? Regardless, thanks for your help!
