Unable to delete record

[Greg Hains]

Hi.

 

I'm assuming this is the right area to post this particular message.

 

I have an issue where I am unable to delete records, and am presented with the message: "This operation cannot be performed because one or more required related tables are missing".  I know the message is fairly self-explanatory in it's language, but how do I find the offending items/connections to resolve it?

The answer will be in your graph, Greg ... it sounds like you have 'Allow Deletion' on in the relationship but you have deleted the table occurrence to which it is related.

That sounds like a context issue. That is, you are attempting to delete a record but you currently aren't on the right table occurrence to do so. Do you have FileMaker Advanced? If so, you can turn on the debugger and step through the script to see where it fails.

Hi LaRetta,

Thank you too BCooney.
