    Append Query Issues


    Hello people. I am having issues with append query, Serious one. I built a second table that have the exact properties and characteristics as the table it will receive data from. But each time I want to append data to it, I'll be welcome with validation rule violation error. It's very annoying and time consuming. Please I need help on how to deal with it.
    When I view the query in datasheet view, it will display exactly how it should be. But when I run the query, the validation rule violation error kicks in and only append just one record out of 18 and leave the remaining 17 behind.

    check all fields for validation rules in the table properties.
    if not, you must play detective.
    I start with the query off all my fields, run
    if error, I delete 1 field from the query, run,
    delete the next, until the query runs. That is the culprit field.

    (thanks for the helpful message box Microsoft)

    If it adds only one record you probably have a unique index (such as the primary key or another one) in one of the fields.

    And just to be clear if you try to append a record with blanks in required fields that won't work...
