Text Field Missing in Linked Database!
Hello,
I want to create a field called K_HEX, I want to make the dataType TEXT and I want to set its properties as follows: DisplayControl: ListBox Row Source Type: Value List Row Source: "17 mm";"19mm";"3/4""";"21mm";"13/16""";"22mm";"7/8""";"22.5mm";"N/A" Allow Multiple Values: YES Allow Value List Edits: YES My database is already split, so I am adding my new field to a file called engData where my split tables lie. I have added plenty of record since I split the database, but for some reason, it is not allowing me to add a field that is set with the properties that I have above. When I go to my database to make changes on form and reports etc, this new field is not appearing in the table. When I look at the table from this file, K_HEX size is not showing, but there is a blank spot for it... if I try to edit it here (which I know I can't do) the field re-appears (probably because its really in the table). I am not sure what I going on... Can anyone help me? Thank you! -- ~Erica~ |

Try a compact repair.
If that doesn't work, delete the linked table (in the front end, not the real table in the back end), and link it again via the External Data tab of the ribbon. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Allen,
That's a good idea! I already tried compacting, I even Compiled & Decompiled... I hope this works! -- ~Erica~ "Allen Browne" wrote: Try a compact repair.
