question about a contact sales program???

[Davef]

Scenario: I keep all the sales in a table with an id to a contact table, but
if I delete the contact, the sales information is wrong. What is the best
way to do this?

Hi,

which database do you use? - If you use SQL Server or MSDE you can setup a
cascading delete on the relationship between both tables. This way, when you
delete a contact, all sales information is automatically deleted by SQL. I
am not sure if Access has the same capabilties.

Best regards,
