Ok, this is my 2nd ever post. 1st one was solved quickly. Thanks.
Now I'm stuck again. My mdb has a main form with 3 subforms. Each
tied to the succeeding by single autonumberID/foreign fields. Each of
the subforms is in continuous form format. The forms seems to work
well as far as viewing or adding records in each of the subforms,
except sbf2. After I have added records in sbf4, everything still
looks good. I can click around, in the various fields of each of the
subforms and the correct records appear in each of the joined
subforms.
But, the instant I click in the add record box of sbf2, a new record
appears in sbf4 and locks me up. The new record in sbf4 is dirty and
required fields are, of course, missing. I get the error message: -
2147352567: The value you entered isn't valid for this field.
When I click down in sbf4 to delete the dirty new record, I get the
message again that: "The field 'tbl4.Component' cannot contain a Null
value because the required property for this field is set to True.
Enter a value in the field."
[Component] is a required field. Now I can esc out of the sbf4 dirty
record, which deletes it, and go back to sbf2 and add the new record.
Again, all of the fields and subforms seem to work ok until I add
another new record in sbf4. I can add more records in sbf2, sbf3,
more records in sbf2 without problem. But when I add a record to
sbf4, then I can not add new records to sbf2 without going through the
error process.
What have I done?
Very gratefully,
Don
