My Hope - Is there any table, when viewing a 'Bob1.fdb' (I have a
multitude of backups thank goodness), in Access that would permit me to
enter/alter the File ID? I have looked at my 'tblSX' and observe that
there are a number of items that look like my MRIN+number data under
the column entitled 'Filing Ref' . This appears to be a possible
opportunity to correct my errors. Is it possible that
changing/correcting/entering the current File Id number (noted as my
MRIN+number) in this column might accomplish my goal? If not, please
suggest a solution.
I'm fairly certain you have found the right field. There is a fairly
simple way to check - which will work in pretty much any situation where
you want to check if you are entering information where you want it to
be.
In tblSX find a record which is easily identifiable - ie one that you
can easily locate in Legacy. Type something really obvious into the
Filing Ref field in that record, such as QUERY or TESTING, for example.
Now go back to Legacy, find the Individual using that Source Detail and
look to see if the word you entered has appeared in the Filing Reg
field.
If it has - success! If it hasn't, look around to see where it has
appeared so you know what that field is for next time - but I don't
think you'll need to do that. If it has worked, go back to Access and
remove your "test word" and carry on filling in your references.
