Relationships not showing again

Sorry to re-post this question but still having problems with relationships
I am running duplicate databases on 2 machines, Ak2 SP3 and windows XP SP2.
I hace 2 databases both with FE & BEs. I can freely copy them between the 2
machines, both FE & BE

On my home machine the relationships are normal, but on the office machine
if I look at the relationships in the FE database, all the tables are there,
but non of the linking lines. Equally with queries in DesignView, the
joining lines can be seen, but as thin lines, not the normal thick ended
line with "1" at one end and "?" at the other. It appears that the enforcing
referential integrety is working.
I have updated drivers, re-installed office, and can find nothing wrong. Is
it likely to be something in the Registry.

Thanks for any further advice

I don't think I would worry too much about seeing relationships in the
FE. They only count in the BE. If you can't see the relationships in
the BE - then you have something to worry about. I also would not try
to establish relationships between tables in the FE and on the BE. It
can be done, but not a good practice. If you need to have referential
integrity locally - I would import/copy data from the BE/Linked tables
to local tables and do your referential integrity locally.

Thanks for coming back, Rich

Both FE & BE are on the same computer, so your bit about local tables seems
redudant. Just curious and more than a bit concerned about being able to see
the relationships on one computer and not the other

Cheers

The resulting report shows relationships that are not displayed in the relationships window. Some of...

Just had a minor mishap which has meant starting a new database and importing all objects. I did have the option to import relationships ticked but these have not come over. The prospect of recreating the contents of the relationship window is freaking me out. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm curious about your opinion on setting relationships. When I designed my first app in Access I'd go to Tools/Relationships and set the relationships. Over time I'd go into the window and see relationship spaghetti....tables/queries all overthe place with lots of relationship lines between here and there. After that first app I didn't do relationships. If I had a query, I defined the relationship. Many of the times when I create a...

Hi all, I have split my database a while ago, and now, I want to add a table with relationships to other existing tables. I open the BE, create my table, and then go to the relationships design, but there is no tables, no relationships. Even when I add all my tables, the relationships don't show up. I tried the "Show all" and "Show direct" relationships buttons, but nothing. I know that they are here cause when I create a new query with...

I posted an answer to someone's question, and realized I have more questions than answers. Thus, I am going to post my scenario to get to the question that I have: I have a challenge, to figure out what part of the vehicle to relate parts to. I can't relate a part to the entire vehicle. Why? Well, a vehicle can have, apparently, more than one engine configuration. For example, I have a Honda Civic with a 1.5L engine, and it can come with...

I have a FE, BE database on my home computer and a duplicate on the office computer. Both use Ak2 on Windows XP. The one at home appears normal. The BE consists of about 50 tables with numerous relationships and the FE 9 tables (fixed set up stuff) + the 50 linked table from the BE database. At home on the relationship view I see all the tables and their relationships, but on the office machine I see only the relationships between the FE...

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,...
