Back table not deleting?
Hi everyone, It appears that my back table isn't deleting the main record and the related sub-records when you delete the main record from the form. I've double checked the relationships and all are correct with referential integrity turned on (one to many)with cascade deleting selected. If you go into the form and delete the record it looks like it's gone and you can no longer see i...

Linking several tables to one table
Hi, I am creating a database that stores IP addresses for various devices (network switches, computers etc) on the network. I had hoped to be able to have one table in the middle that stores an IP address to a serial number. Seperate tables, one for computers and one for switches would link to this table to get the IP address for the device's serial number. Unfortunatly, after I've cr...

Linking Tables TO another DB
