    Cannot Add or Change a Record Because A related record is Required


    Cannot Add or Change a Record Because A related record is Required


    Good afternoon! I am receiving this message box after a delete button is pressed on a form. The form is the parent (one in the one-many relationship). The delete is successful.

    Then the form is blank and the id says "New". Here's where it gets interesting....as soon as I close the form I get the message box "Cannot Add or Change a Record Because A related record is Required". I do not want this message box to appear. I don't understand why it thinks I am trying to first of all, add or change a record, and second...even if I was this is the parent anyways so it shouldn't be a problem.

    Help please! Thanks!

    Have you set "Enforce Referential Integrity" and "Cascade Delete Related Records" in the relationship window.
