After puttering with Access off and on, I'm trying to build a serious
database. I have my initial table structure build and it's fairly complex.
But I want to make a consistent print of the tables and relationships to
study and use for documentation.
In Access 2003 I have been using the Relationships tool and print
relationships - but I feel like I'm fighting with it. Because:
1) I go into relationships and move the tables around to be organized
nicely. I print what I see (more on that in a sec). It asks me if I want to
save the layout and I say 'yes'. When I come back later and to into
relationships again the tables have moved all around again and duplicate
copies of some tables have appeared (Table1_1, etc). I delete them again and
the same thing happens again.
I know that this some times happens when you use lookup tables - I did and
first but I took them out...
what am I missing, why does this keep happening to me?
2) when I go into Print Relationships, my pages 1-3 are always blank and I
see table on p. 4 and on. No matter how I try to move things around, it still
comes out the same way.
Again, what am I missing?
I do feel like I'm being quite dense. Any ideas?
