Vista - ACCESS 2003 Linking Tables Roadblock- PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

06-19-2008

have a major problem. I am developing a database for a client that contains
over 302 tables, all of which have thousands of rows. 301 of these tables
need to be linked to the parent table, and all have the same primary key.
However, I have recieved that evil error message that only 32 tables can be
indexed. I have searched and searched, but cannot find a solution to this.
I am desperate for any suggestions, even if it means taking avenues other
than ACCESS 2003. The only requirements are that the database has the
ability to be online, collecting data from other parties via some sort of
form. Also, these tables must have full capabilities to be edited and
controlled, not read-only. CAN ANYONE HELP ME??? There is a huge deadline
coming in hours. Thanks!

Sounds like you need a major design change is required.
How about creating less tables that have to be linked and then have the
different Access forms you develop for some of the tables prefill in the
fields that contain the IDs and other information unique to the party that
is using the form.

I would suggest repost in an Access group as this has nothing to do with
Vista hardware.
