Access difference

Post by cyberbrain »

Hello,

I'm working on a database for a school project. It has to contain "customer" data for a
administrative division of a hospital, e.g. adresses, birthdates etc. The database works
fine, and I'm now creating a webinterface to manage that database. This works fine, but:
I use a Access 2000 database, and for each field in a table there a two properties available,
Nullable and Required. In PHP, you can only read out the Nullable property. But if a field
hasn't set the Nullable property, than is should be filled in, right? My problem is, no mather
how I set the Nullable and Required properties, PHP always says Nullable = 1. In a PHP-generated
form, I want to display asterisks after each input box if it is a required field. Has somebody
experience with this stuff?

Thanks in advance!
