BUG: Execute Is Unavailable on New, Unsaved Procedural Object

Article ID: 191049

APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q191049

SYMPTOMS

The execute command, both on the shortcut menu and the tools menu, is unavailable for procedural objects such as procedures and functions. This applies to all unsaved procedural objects for all backends that support execution.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. The availability of the execute command is tied to the status and appearance of the object in data view. The execution save prompt allows for a previous saved version to be executed. In this case there is no previous saved version.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
