Can't change data type
I was trying to update field size in table design. I get a message saying
'You can't change the data type or field, it is part of one or more relationships. If you want to change the data type of this field, first delete its relationship in the Relationships window. I have deleted the relationship and I still get this message when trying to update the field size. |

Can't change data type
Steve,
Sounds like you missed one... In the Relationships Window click the show all button and delete the remaining ones and try changing your field size again. Also, if this database is split then you need to do this in the back-end, doing this in the front end has no effect on the acutal relationships. -- Gina Whipp 2010 Microsoft MVP (Access) "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Steve Stad" wrote in message ...

Can't change data type
Go to the Relationships Window and make sure that All Relationships is
selected. It's also possible that ad hoc relationships in queries, form-subforms, and reports-subreports can cause this problem. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.

Can't change data type
How did you "delete its relationship"?
If you only deleted the table, but failed to highlight the link/relationship line before deleting, you didn't delete the relationship!
