Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Set not creating link data

    I am having a problem with a set I have created.

    There are three tables in the set lets say A, B, & C,

    A and B are linked by Company one to many.

    B and C are linked by Ref Num one to one.

    I have created a tabued form, Tab A shows Table A.

    Tab B shows a browse with Jobs references relating to Company in Table A.
    The job reference is stored in table B.
    You Chose the job in the browse to give focus and go to tab C.

    Tab C shows info from table B plus table C.

    All looks fine but when entering data into Table B From tab C all is fine but when you move to a Field relating to table C all fields relating to table B go blank.

    When you look at the table C the link dos not create the ref num in table C from table b can any one help please.

    Hope that you can understand the problem.

    I think the link is still there, but you need to enter ref number to table C by script(when you enter new record in table C, use script to get the ref number of table B and put it to table C).

      Thanks Romy for your fast response.

      I'll look at what you have said.

      I was under the impression that if I was entering data into table C that the linking field wold be updated through the link as happens with table B from A.

      Thanks again.

          Hi Romy

          I have just created a DB to try and explain the problem better.

          But guess what im not having the problem with the test DB.

          On my larger DB as I explained on tab C when I enter data into the fields
          in from table C it does not create the Ref number as it does in the test.

          Any explanation for this may help.

          Thanks Aidy

            Aidy,

            Are you saving the child table record before beginning the grandchild?

              It works here. Maybe you didn't save before grandchild enter.
