|    A strange "deletion" situation...?    |
|    21 Nov 06 10:43:23    |
      From: usenet@soleSPAMLESSassociates.com              Howdy,              We run P9 under Win 2000 and also XP. Our LAN has six boxes.              A few minutes ago, my assistant came in to my office and       asked "Did you intentionally remove yourself from our       database...?"              Of course, I had not, and so, I checked using forms, and by       viewing tables, and indeed my own record was gone from the       parent table.              Here is the aspect that I find particularly strange:              We link our tables on an ID key.              We store names, addresses, phone numbers etc. all linked on       that key. So, there are lots of properly linked child tables       in our setup.              No one (other than I) can access the tables.              When I re-entered my own ID number, last name, and first       name in the parent table, all of the linked data appeared       properly in our primary form.              Using the form, how might it have been possible to delete       the name information without first deleting all the       information in the child tables?              If I am understanding this correctly, there is no simple act       that could have accidentally caused the problem, but I       certainly want to be sure that it does not happen again.              I would appreciate any thoughts on this...              Sincere thanks,       --       Kenneth              If you email...
