Data taken from one record and placed into another record

Jon
I have a database that mysteriously takes information from fields in
one clients record and places it into the fields of another client
record. This happens sporadically. I end up finding data all over the
place.

Has anyone experience this? Is there a way to fix the problem

At a guess it has something to do with how the data is entered. You'd
have to give more info:)

Just a guess, but if you've setup relationships and you have Cascade Update
Related Fields selected you may get the results you describe.

In this database you can input information into a field and on the
selection of another field, notice that other fields have magically
brought information from other records into it. These is no link to
bring other information into the current record.

I am led to believe that information is being transferred
automatically to and from adjacent records without request. This seems
to be the main problem that exists.

Then you need to see if there is code running behind the form triggered by
you changing fields/moving focus, that runs and sets the value of the
so-called fields. Also check the table(s) that the form is based on to see
if there are default values set during design time. Open the table in
design view to check. Other then that I've never heard of data magically
appearing in records from adjacent records. One other thing you can try is
open the table directly and try changing/adding records and see if you get
the same results. If so it's default values set in the table or
relationships. One other thing I forgot to mention, if this is a multi user
database, maybe someone else is changing the data.

Jon,

Please don't multipost - get the same thread working independently in
several newsgroups. In stead, crosspost into all of the relevant groups.
That way an answer in one group will appear in that same thread in all
groups.

I'm aware of at least two groups with this same, isolated, thread working.
I'll add the other thread here. Unfortunately that will yield two threads
working in the other group.

Is there a way to carry data that I have already read from the datagrid from page to page? I am looking at my Datagrid that I page through and when the user says get the next page, I have to go to the database to get the next page. Is there a way to use the dataset to allow us to read back and forth in it instead of going back to the database to get it? Thanks,

Is there some sort of callback mechanism that can be set up on the dataset or connection? TIA
