A trick I learned from an MS Access forum in problem solving macros:
In problem solving a process, you can temporarily turn a rule OFF by putting 1=2 in the condition field. Obviously 1=2 will never be true so that the rule is temporarily turned OFF.
I also use this approach when there is part of a process that I have decided to no longer use. Instead of deleting it, I sometimes will use 1=2 to turn it OFF for awhile until I can make 100% sure I want to delete the item.
