Boy, things are getting a little touchy around here. Suggesting JC joins a club with me! <VBG> Drew -----Original Message----- From: Gustav Brock To: John W. Colby Sent: 2/2/03 2:46 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] Cascade-delete (was: Estimating Help) Hi John I wonder why you constantly miss the point. For all those horror scenarios you paint up, all of us - me, Jeanine, John B, Andy, yourself and any responsible developer - would of course set cascade-delete to off. But for the purpose of automatic clean-up of otherwise completely useless and orphane data, I have never seen cascade-deleting fail. I have enough else to do than to recode tools already there. Seems like you can join a club with Arthur and Drew on building delete queries! > I can now walk (or remote access) into your environment and wreak havoc with > your database, not having a clue how things relate to other things etc. > Don't think for a minute it doesn't happen.

At least it's not the way I entry unknown land. And I would make a backup as the very first step. Then no one gets angry - not even yourself when you make a mistake. /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
