Test Possible Before Saving?
ACCESS 2007
If I have made some changes (for example modifying a field to make sure that values are required and / or creating a lookup for a field to name just 2 possibilities) is there a way to ensure that the above changes are tested before I save the changes I've made? TIA for any replies. |

trip,
No. (You don't indicate whether your referring to a table or a form) You make your changes in Design Mode, and test in Form/Datasheet View. If you're concerned that you might save some changes that might not work, then make a backup copy of your original object before you begin, and save your changes under a diferent name... until fully tested. If OK... save to the original object name. -- hth Al Campagna Microsoft Access MVP 2007-2009 http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions/index.html "Find a job that you love... and you'll never work a day in your life."

I was referring to a table and not a form; thanks for the answer.
