I am using a microsoft access 2002 (10.6771.6845) SP3 program and recently linked new table to one I have been using a long time, with a one (new table) to many (old table) relationship, which worked fine when I created 22 forms linked to the original table and form.
However, I wanted to have the pirmary key numbers posted in both tables at the same time. So, I opened the original table's query, linked the two tables in it, and dragged the new table's ID number into the query.
Because an ID is required, I went into the old table and changed the "not required" to "required."
When I re-opened the original form, instead of getting the 1500 records usually found, I got only 22, which corresponded to the number previously entered in the new table.
I deleted the "required" condition I had put into the original table's ID, I deleted the new table's ID from the original table's query, and I deleted the link I had created between the original and the new tables.
Problems:
Instead of getting the 1500-plus records I used to have, I now have over 34,000, basically 15 copies or so of each original form. When I filter to work with a form, it reduces to one form which accepts all data just fine. None of the other forms I have developed based on the same table show this duplication, and the underlying table has only the original data, so everything else except this one form is fine.
The other problem is that to print this form yields only the heading, not the detail.
I tried database compact and repair, with no results.

If you delete the link in the query, you create a default JOIN with a line for each record from one table paired with each record from the other table. If both your tables have the same structures, you can create a UNION of both tables, which is what you want.
As for the printing, check the properties of the detail section, and make sure Display When is set to Always?
Thanks for helping clear up the no-print problem, ChipR. As for the multiplicity of records, I'm going to try re-establish the link between the tables, and if that doesn't work, find out about doing a union.

On the form which contains the record, I can print a single report from that
form. What I would like to do now is do the same thing but select the report
from any one of a dozen choices of report. This is due to the variables in
the manufacturing process that this database records.
When I print the single report, it is simply a bin label that goes with the
product.
The quality control section needs more detail and that is where the...

Hello,
I have a small form that pops up when a user moves off the current
record of a rather sizeable data entry form. The purpose of this form
is to list warnings about various fields on the entry form that may be
incomplete or inconsistent before the user exits the record. These
warnings take the form of items in a listbox. The underlying rowsource
of the listbox is a delimited string (value list). I would like to be
able to let...

Hello,
I have a report that has only 2 levels of grouping.
The detail section is simply 1 large block for a memo field.
I am finding that on some occasions the report errors and generates hundreds
(perhaps even an infinite loop...I have to break the system to stop the
report generating) of pages.
While I'm not 100% I think this may have something to do with the detail

I'm needing to print reports by the record detail, Meaning if I had five records on the detail subform, I could click print and would get five reports with the same headers "Parent RecordID" but the first report would have the first record in the detail and the next report would print the second record in the detail and so on.

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
