| Having created a simple database with two tables I have added the relationship between the tables successfully...I thought! However, on exiting the view and saying yes to save the diagram I get an error message that ends with "The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_ORDER LINES_ORDERS". The conflict occurred in database "Test_Movements", table "dbo.ORDERS", column 'ORDER_ID'.". Can anyone point me to where am I going wrong, please? BrianC |

| You have tried to add a foreign key that points to order_id in your orders table, yet your data is saying that you have data in the foreign key that doesn't exist in the primary key field.Fix your data and you won't have a problem. |
