Problem w/Auto-Numbered Primary Key

12 New Member
I am filling the sender & recipient fields for a logistics company's Invoice table by drawing from a single address table. I enter "new" addresses using two forms (one for the sender field, one for the recipient field) that populate the common address table and the Invoice table's record. As I attempt to create a new address the address table's primary key generates an auto-number, but when I go to close the form after the entry I get this prohibitory error message:

"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."

What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

Are you sure there are no any other field indexed with "no duplicates"?

Yes, that was the problem! I am surprised I over looked that. I'm sorry to trouble you for something so trivial. Thank you very much for your help.

Don't worry. You didn't trouble me at all. You are quite welcome.

Hi. I am trying to straighten out some DIV issues in the rendering of my no-tables CSS website. Right now the biggest issue is trying to render 2 columns several DIVs deep in the box model for my index page. If you go to http://galtsvalley.com/newindex.html - you will see the problem area. I've highlighted the relevant blocks with nice, harsh primary colors. Clearly there are positioning problems begetting flow issues - the blocks...

I'm changing the layout of my site. Instead of using tables, I will use DIVs. It's working fine, except for 1 thing: In IE6 some DIVs are not the correct width. Mozilla and Opera are showing the page the way I want. Does anybody know a solution for this? First of all, the code I am using: CSS ------- body {

I'm hoping that someone can explain what's going on; better yet provide a workaround. I'm designing a centered CSS site based on a 550 pixel wide vertical background image. Onto this background I built a two column layout with nested navigation and content divs. The background image is centered via "background: ... center;", the divs are centered over it via "margin: 0 auto 0 auto;". The problem I'm having in IE6 is inconsistent...

This problem has consumed a lot of my time, and I'm aftraid someone will tell me that my whole approach to this objective is wrong; however, I would like to know if there is a way to do this. I have a web page divided into two major segments, with the top segment fixed and the bottom segment allowed to scroll, thus giving the look of frames without frames. I also have anchors so that users can click on a letter of the alphabet to jump...

Hey guys, I have been teaching myself web design and using a lot of php. I have been going great, slowly but surely, however I have a problem. If you open up my home page: (http://supremewarfare.com/main/home.php) in firefox/Opera, everything is good. However if you open it up in IE6 or 7 (haven't tried 5 but I presume it's the same), there is a serious gap in my table and I am not sure how to fix it? Have a look at the source code and let me...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
