Don't be stopped in your tracks with STOP BLANKS

Hello guys!

Just wanted to share my goofy experience in designing my first master-detail form.

1. tables - check!

2. form - check!

3. objects - check!

4. add/edit a record - check!

5. save the record - nothing happens??? (with no error message)

After eliminating objects one-by-one, i found the problem - i discovered that i set one of the subform's object's "Stop Blanks" to "Yes".

This is probably caused by by not being careful in cloning objects.

After setting the property to "No", my form was saving records as prescribed.

Just a little heads up on being careful with haphazard object cloning.

Jonathon,

Thanks for the post.

I especially like the bit..

Thats a great way to debug stuff.

I like to call it "Divide and Conquer"
