Integrity constraint violated - parent key not found
Hi, can you help.
I'm creating a vast relational database and have spent ages creating forms. I have command buttons that jump to related forms and series numbers are being picked up across the different forms but when I try to add records to the related forms I get the following message 'ODBC call failed - [oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-02291 : integrity constraint (BODCADMIN.EDI_SER_OBSPRG_EDI_OPT_FK1) violated - parent key not found (#2291).....
I have recently deleted one version of a form in favour of another - could this have something to do with it?
Any hints and tips appreciated....
Regards

RE: integrity constraint violated - parent key not found
Try this...
Go to control panel, Administrative Tools, then Data Sources (ODBC).
You should see a list of datasources, then click on Add
Sort through the list to find Microsoft Access driver(*.mdb), then click finish.
Type in "Microsoft Access Driver" in the Data source name, then click ok.
Click ok again to close.
Now, go back to your file, and try running it again - hopefully this helps to fix this issue.
RE: integrity constraint violated - parent key not found
I tried your solution out and found that this information was already set up.
After going back through my forms I found that the problem was due to Data-record source (at the form level)... some forms were set to obtain data from the 'deleted' parent form. I changed this and it seems to work ok.
Thanks anyway for your speedy reply
