Hello, All:
I am coming fairly quickly up to speed on Access (I hope), but hit roadblocks from time to time. I researched this question, but was unable to find a definitive answer. I appeal to the Access pros.
I am doing some intensive work on a form and deleted a record for the first time using my form's delete button.
The two tables that had been populated with information from that record are tblSailor which has a 1:many with tblAT (annual training). The idea being that each sailor has the potential for many trainings each year.
The fk in tblAT is SSN.
When I "whacked" a sailor's record, it left behind, instead of a nice clean delete, lots of "#Deleted"s in the tblAt. This suggests to me a RI problem. In the relationships view, I have ticked all three RI options which is to say 'Enforce,' 'Cascade Update,' 'Cascade Delete.'
Questions.
1) Is #Deleted a definite sign that a RI problem exists, or does Access work like this for some reason?
2) What is the usual cure, if this is indeed a problem beyond messing up my beautiful table!?
Does this symptom have a definitive cause?
Many thanks for your thoughts and patience.
John
