Data Merge Warning Dialog

This dialog can be displayed to request parameters for the upcoming data merge/delete execution. The dialog is triggered by the Merge or Delete actions in the Data diff tab.

for MS Access, data merge warning dialog

The Free version just warns about potential limitations:

for MS Access, data merge warning dialog (free version)

Once the confirmation is OK, the next step is the execution of merge/delete operation with some progress indication. If there are no parameters to request and nothing to warn about, this dialog is not shown, and the flow proceeds directly to the next step.

If displayed, the dialog contains the following sections:

  • Action
    If the dialog is shown, this section is always displayed.
    You're going to {merge or delete} one or more rows
    Target database:
    {Database display name}
  • Backup
    Just warns that unlike object merge/delete operations, data processing does not make any backup and you need to care about it yourself.
    Data merge and deletion does not make any backup, please make sure that you've done it yourself if needed.
    This warning can be suppressed with Don't warn me again option (in the Free version it is Don't warn me again in this AccdbMerge session because it can not be configured).
  • Merge all pages
    This section is shown when you select all rows in the data diff and want to perform a batch merge or delete action on them, provided that the table has more rows on other pages. The Standard version asks if you want to process all pages:
    You've selected all rows on the current data page, but there are more rows on other pages.
    Do you want to process all rows from all pages?
    The Free version simply warns that only the current page will be processed:
    You've selected all rows on the current data page, but there are more rows on other pages which are not going to be processed.

The default settings for Backup and Merge all pages sections can be configured in the Settings dialog under the Data Diff tab. This dialog also provides the option to specify whether to prompt for these parameters during each merge/delete action or to use the default settings automatically.

Free Version Limitations

  • Merge all pages limitation warning is shown but can not be enabled
  • Backup can be disabled only per application session
