Default table relationships and subdatasheets

You should also view the Database's Options and turn *off* Track
Name Autocorrect - this feature has richly earned the nickname
"Name Autocorrupt".


Not meaning to dispute the recommendation that it should probably be
OFF in most cases, I'm finding it useful in a project I'm working on
right now, where all the table fields are prefixed with the prefixes
I only use for variable names. Every text field is named
txtSomething. This is highly annoying to me, as you it's impossible
to navigate a field list by typing the first letter of the field
you're looking for.

In any event, when I'm done doing the renaming and checking all the
dependencies, I'll turn Name AutoCorrect OFF. I think the problems
with it likely come from it being turned on for production use
(where it's just not needed).

It's certainly making my life easier for this preliminary work on
this new project.
