    lagbolt, thank you for trying to understand my problem! Facts are, the real way my db is implemented is similar to what you said, and I just simplified it for uploading and asking whether DLookUp is working as a Validation Rule. However, Herb2 is not something to be planted next year. It is...

    How to save record from before_update event

    MStef, no, Field2 is not required, otherwise it is too obvious that it can not be left blank. Gemma, I tried your suggestion, but it gives me the same 2108 error.

    select query choosing records having maximum number of instances of a specific field?

    That would have been too simple! I m afraid that's NOT what I am looking for. Your query would show the results as having 2 Keyboards for James and 1 Monitor, whereas I would like it to show only James Keyboard. Moreover, I don't need to use the criteria for Customers because as I said, I...
