Default How to enforce subtypes/supertypes in Access 2000?

It sounds like you're using Access 2000, which does not have this option.
(This would also explain why your VBA references were set to ADO by default,
and not DAO)

You don't want SQL-92 anyway, if you are working with a Jet database.

Hi Graham,

Actually I did have another question too - more out of curiosity than
anything else.

You mentioned earlier that to switch to ANSI-92 mode you need to go to
Tools
Options Tables/Queries. When I following these directions I get a
form

with a Table and a Query design section. In the Table design section, I
get options to change the default field sizes, the default field type, and
a box for "AutoIndex on Import/Create". In the Query design section, I
get checkboxes to "show table names", "output all fields" and "enable
autojoin". I also get radio buttons to "Run permissions" as "Owner's" or
"User's". But I don't see anything that refers to ANSI mode. Any ideas
why?


Regards
Bob

Whoo Hoo!

Thanks alot Graham. It's finally working. :-)

Just one more question though, why do you prefer DAO over ADO? I've now
acquired a copy of the "Microsoft Office Access 2003 Bible" and there's a
small section in it that asserts that ADO is to be preferred over DAO
because Microsoft does not plan to provide any future enhancements for
the latter. I'm still starting out at this, so I'm not entirely clear on
the other pros and cons of each.

Bob
