Hi
I have recently helped somebody converting an Access application into an
Access (2002) front-end and an Oracle backend. It worked fine, until he
decided to install and use Access 2007 instead of Access 2002. Just while he
was changing Access version, I had to make one structural change in one table
in the Oracle DB. No sweat, I thought, just delete the link and link again.
This works perfectly well with Access 2002.
However, with Access 2007, the OLD table definition is coming through again
partially, no matter what I do. What I changed in that table in Oracle was
adding a field and making that new field the primary key. Now there is NO WAY
that Access 2007 will take this new field as PK when re-linking !!! It
INSISTS in keeping the PREVIOUS definition of the PK of that table, which was
another field ! Even when I remove the PK entirely in Oracle and re-link
again, Access 2007 does NOT ask for which field is the PK and uses the old
field as a PK !
Any idea how I can get rid of that "phantom" definition ?
Thanks for any hints...

Sorry Balex.
This sounds like the memory of the old index is being retained. The only think I can suggest is to run the compact and repair routine after deleting the old link and before importing the new link.

Thought about that and did that already. Didn't help, unfortunately. I also stopped the Oracle server and restarted it, but no joy. Also re-booted the PC (one never kows...), but that had no effect either.

OK Next idea.
Open the linked table manager and refresh all links. If that doesn't work try just ticking the new link and tick the always prompt for new location box.

I tried the link manager as well (for that one table), but I did not see the "always prompt for new location box", so that's definitively something to try !
Thanks a lot

Anyone recommend a good script editor for Mac OS X?
Just finished a 4-day PHP class in front of a Windows machine, and liked

Having trouble finding the same in an editor that'll run on OS X.

I implemented a timer in my PHP page to see how long it takes to run.
Here's the code:
$this->start_time = microtime();
/* All the code */
$this->end_time = microtime();
$this->calc_time = ($this->end_time - $this->start_time);
print "<tr><td colspan=\"5\">Calculated in: <b>";
printf("%." . $this->time_precision . "f", $this->calc_time);
print " seconds</b></td></tr>\n";

I have recently enabled the PHP 4.2.1 that comes pre-installed on OS

I would like to make some changes to the php.ini file, but I can't
