re: MS Access 2000 & XP Pro
I must not understand something that seems as if it should be easy to
understand.
Given a text field, I set the "Required" rule to Yes. Yet, Access allows me
clear the field and post the record and close the table.
Why?
I've updated a column (with a query) to set all Null values to 'a'.
Then I try to change "Allow zero length" from Yes to No. When I try to save
the table, Access reports that "Errors were encountered".
If I set the field's Zero length property bact to Yes, then I can save the
table. So my point being is that nothing else is wrong with the data in the
table from Access's point of view.
I would really welcome some clarification on these two issues.
TIA
