why is the sky blue some days and not blue on others even though there appears to be no clouds?!
Okay for real now:
Why is it so important to cascade delete update records, would this not be inappropriate when dealing with health records - please elaborate and explain some rules for application of table linkage?!

RE: Access

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your question.

It is an option when you are linking tables but the case you talk about it, it would not be appropriate as you would want to keep the data.

It may be more appropriate to archive the old data rather than using cascade delete related records.

This option should possibly only be used by Senior Developers or Managers when there is no need to keep the old data.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Closing form after a certain time period

To make a form close automatically after a certain time period, you need to assign the close function to a macro.

Save the macro and ope up the form in design view. open the Properties sheet.

In the TimerInterval property enter the length of time you want the form open for. This should be in milliseconds, so for instance if you want the form open for 5 seconds enter 5000, for an minute enter 60000.

You now need to attach your macro (to execute the Close action) to the OnTimer event property of the form.
