SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
In Microsoft Access 7.0:
In Microsoft Access version 2.0:
If you try to save changes after modifying one of the properties listed above, you receive a message that states: In Microsoft Access 97: This property cannot be modified in linked tables. In Microsoft Access 7.0: Microsoft Access cannot save changes to properties of linked tables. In Microsoft Access 2.0: This property cannot be modified in attached tables. CAUSEYou cannot modify engine-enforced properties in linked non-Microsoft Access tables because Microsoft Access cannot enforce validation of a field that may be updated by other products, such as Microsoft Visual Basic. RESOLUTIONYou can add a default value or validation rule at the form level instead of modifying the linked table. For linked Microsoft Access tables, you should change engine-enforced properties in the base tables before you link them. REFERENCESFor more information about validation rules, search the Help Index for "validating data."
