    Restore deleted text

    Hello



    In a form if you accidentally delete text, is there an undo to restore it?

    Thanks

    Ross

    Not sure of your context, but if you offer a delete option to a user, it is often advisable to also ask user to confirm before a physical delete is done.
    If it's inadvertent accident during development, then make regular backups.
    In vba editor there is an undo button option.

    Depends on details (as usual).

    ok, in a form, where I have added a field which is memo. You add some text and then delete the the text you have written, is there an undo, to put the the text back in, like in Word?

    As a test. I have a table with a memo field. I added a new record and moved to another record (to save the new record).
    I then went to that new record and deleted a few words at the end of the memo field. Then went to another record to save the change. Went back to the record I have changed (removed a few words) and was still offered an undo. Clicking the undo restored the missing words.
    However, if you close the form and reopen it, the undo option will not be available.

    Good luck with your project.
