Hello!

I sometimes get the following run-time-error during updating the database
record: "Error 3426: The action was canceled by an associated object.". What
means this message? I use the recordset.update method after I started
editing or adding an entry with recordset.addentry (or something like that).
What can I do?

Thanks,
Daniel Fett

In my experience, this is usually caused by a foreign-key relationship
that's being violated; ie, adding a row to table A with a foreign key to
table B, when table B does not contain a row with the corresponding key.
Hope that's clear! Check these relationships and ensure you are abiding by
them when adding, deleting or updating data.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Do you know, where i can get a helpfile containing this topic? if i click on
'Help' in the error-message-window i get a windows-help error no. 129 which
complains that the topic is not avaiable.

What code and database are you using?

Unfortunately, I don't know where exactly this is documented. The best help
file we have is MSDN, which you can access for free on the net, at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library. Unfortunately, you'll have to look the
error up manually, but you may find something.

Good luck!
