Default Tables in the Relationship Graph but not in the List of Tables. - 02-16-2011 , 08:39 PM






What have I missed or done stupid?
A Table that is shown in the graph as related to the primary Data table
is not in the Tables list and therefore is not available to be altered.

Where has it gone??

:-? Integer numbers sre easy but Relationships still trouble me
sometimes.

you actually don't see tables within the graph. You see Table Occurrences.
This might seem a trivial word game, but it is actually not. A table may
have many TO's. So my guess is that you have a table called A and an
occurrence called B.

Ursus has brought this to us :

I started to ask more then I realized what the Occurences list against
each table means, I think.
I will do some experiments now you have given me a lead.
So many things to learn so little time.
Thanks.

Either what Ursus said, or else the table lives in another file altogether.

Or the table was deleted, but the TO was not; if the check box to delete
the TO is not enabled when deleting a table, a TO 'ghost' will remain.
Easy to demonstrate.
