Of course, you could be truly rigorous and insist that field names be unique ... ;o> Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Colby Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 9:58 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Assistance Lol, my feeling exactly. Plus it is nice to just look at a field name and know where it comes from. John W.

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.

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?" /gustav >>> dwaters at usinternet.com 01-03-2006 14:28 >>> 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! ;-) Dan -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Colby Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 10:59 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Assistance 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. ;-) John W.

With ID as the suffix of the field name. Thanks a lot. And I mean that.
