The
Arguments column is read-only and displays the arguments for the selected action. The Comments
column lets you give the action a description telling you what that action does. The lower section
of the window is where you enter each action??™s arguments.
The Arguments column in Access 2007 lets you see each action??™s arguments without
clicking on each row and looking at the Action Arguments section in the lower section
of the window. To hide this column, click the Arguments command in the Design ribbon??™s Show/Hide
group.
