[AccessD] Simple record-level validation rule

Hi Arthur

It isn't trying to assign any result.

The Rule that Susan ended up with is:
[overtime]=0 Or [hours]=40

That's a total expression that evaluates to True or False.
([overtime]=0 Or [hours]=40)

It's True if [overtime]=0, or if [hours]=40.
It's False with other combinations of values for these two fields, the 
Validation Rule fails, and presumably a Validation Text is shown.
So in practice (as I understand it) the Rule will evaluate to False if:
[overtime]>0 And [hours]<40

Regards
Steve

But why is it trying to assign the result to the Overtime field?
