Really sorry about this i just worked out if i dont select the foreign key in an insert statement it will return this error i have to include this into the query, i have also noticed i usually dont add auto inc fields in the insert query but my departments table has a foriegn key join and is returning error unless i add it into the query, is there a way around this ?
