Table Relationships Do NOT display

10 New Member
I'm getting started developing a new database and I've established my tables and I made a few relationships. Now I'm trying to make some changes which involve deleting a few columns in one table that happen to be tied to another table. For some reason when I go to the relationships window it displays the two tables I haved tied, but does not show the relationships and every time I attempt to delete the column in one of the tables, it tells me that I cannot do that until I delete the relationship. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any advice?

1) If you have defined your relationships and Access simply isn't showing them then try the menubar .....Relationsh ips .....show all

2) if 1) doesnt work try menubar...Edit. ..clear all then repeat 1)

I'm trying to build a database that will handle the monthly billing needs of a small company.

I'm finding this to be extremely difficult to set up. I understand that Access won't manage the primary key and the cascade updates for a table. Fine. I tried changing the PK type to number and setting default value to a UDF that manages the auto-numbering. Access won't take a UDF as a default value. Okay, I'll use SQL WITHOUT any aggregate functions, for the default value. Access won't do that either. Okay, I create a second...

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD? I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of elements in the HTML to get everything just right. When you consider the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings anymore for using DIV. There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the lack of ability...

I inherited a database (as a novice at Access) and need to modify it to make it more efficient, i.e., the assignment form needs to autopopulate with the client's name, address, phone number, etc., when you select the cust id. Found this cited as a good method: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0058.htm I have two tables (clients, assignments) and one form (assignment input) in the database. I have a control box called CUST ID in the...

Hello, Is it possible to create multiple foreign keys on a field in a table from values in two separate tables where the field value can be from one table OR the other? For example, I have an Invoice table where the Customer field is linked (foreign key) to the Customer table. As the application has changed, I now want to introduce the concept of prospects by storing them in a table dedicated to prospects only (no customers). I want...

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
