ACC2000: You Do Not Get the SaveAll Dialog Box After You Compile Even If You Have Changed Multiple Forms or Reports

When you compile a Microsoft Access 2000 database or project, all empty event procedures are removed from the form and report modules in your database. However, when you close the database, you only get a prompt to save one form or report, even if you have modified more than one form or report module.

To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new Microsoft Access 2000 database.
2. Create a new form, and name it Form1.
3. In Design view of the Form1 form, click Properties on the View menu, and then set the OnLoad property to [Event Procedure].
4. Click the Build button to open the Visual Basic Editor. Note the empty Form_Load event procedure.
5. Close the Visual Basic Editor, and then save and close the Form1 form.
6. Make a copy of the Form1 form, and name it Form2.
7. Open the Visual Basic Editor (ALT + F11), and then click Compile on the Debug menu.
8. Close the Visual Basic Editor, and view the items on the Window menu. Note that the Form1 form and the Form2 form are open.
9. Click Close on the File menu. Note that you get a message that asks you if you want to save the Form1 form. However, the empty procedures in both of your forms were removed during the compile.
