[AccessD] Assistance

Gustav,

I usually don't argue in this list but now I have to.  Do you really want
one field in every table called ID?  Typing is easy!  Trying to hunt down
which of 50 fields all named ID is causing the problem sounds like a good
all-day exercise.

Hi Dan

Actually you are denormalizing the naming of the database schema this way
...
ID is fine. Outside the table it is tblMyTable.ID. Access does this for you
automatically.
Why having trouble with tblMyTable.MyTableID? Too much typing.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Boring day here - and remember: Clients do lie. "I'm
are experiencing locked records but everyone else is locked out." My
colleague drives to the client just to spot a laptop with wireless network.
You have one guess: Was this machine logged in to the application?"

AND, the name of the autonumber field MUST be the same as the table name.

For example, tblMyTable has a PK Autonumber of MyTableID.

It MUST be this way!

ROTFLMAO.

Some things are just worth doing, always. 

Because of my dictatorial methods I am able to just look at my tables and
see the relationships, know what tables a field is in etc.  Works for me.
Most of my subjects don't dare speak up anymore, knowing my "out the door,
without a parachute" mentality.

Well, thanks to you and your dictatorial methodology I find I am now
completely unable to create a new table without defining an autonumber PK as
the very first field.  With ID as the suffix of the field name.

Thanks a lot.

And I mean that.

Rocky
