Hi

I am currently working on an Access table for a phone call centre (scenario)

The table has to be normalised so the customers can pick no more than 10 best friend numbers and the ten country codes selected are different.

I was wondering how do you set the table validation so only 10 records can be entered.

And also how can you get it that once one countrycode has been used from a lookup in the table it can't be used again.

Many Thanks

Mike

Look into using the dcount command in the form. Just have it count the records in the table that shows the customer to best friend relationship. You can use dcount for the countrycode too.
