Appending to table fails with VERY odd message



Trying to append to a table fails with pop up message : “Nobody is that fast”

I’ve compacted and repaired, and then made a new MDB and moved all tables into it. This MDB is a simple back end with only tables.
It was built in 2003 but now runs under 2010
I didn’t know you can have insert triggers in Access ( that’s a bad joke; I have no idea what is causing this or how)

This is happening on the lowest level I can work on; I go into the table directly and try to add a record. No forms, no macros, no VBA code involved.

Perhaps its a validation message for a none matching validation rule. Check the column definitions in the design view of the table.

EDIT: removed pointer to data macros, as this is access 2003

Hapm, you were right. I never use table based validation rules myself, so I had no idea.
(Someone had placed a rule in a table on a numeric field that holds times to do a test. If the number was too
low it gave that error message.)
Thanks !

Sorry - I posted before I saw your update.

Does anyone know if or how a posting can be deleted?

Tks - John


You could do a global search (entire database) on all your VBA code for that string.

However, considering that you are getting that strange message error even at the table level, my suspicion is that you have malware or that Access itself has an "issue".

My suggestion is to try a reinstall of MS Access (from a reliable source) to see if that clears it up.

John:

That was just what I thought it was too.
(But I've only been programming in Access since 1996, so I have a lot yet to learn.)

Thanks !
