The Data Integrity form helps you keep your data complete and accurate without slowing data entry because the data wasn't currently available. In this example, we have a select query qDIContactsWithInvalidAddress. It is easy to create dozens of these queries in an hour, so any time you encounter a data entry problem, we can create a DI query to avoid it in the future. The Note normally contains a line telling exactly how to fix the problem. Click Calc1 to count the records found by this query or Calc to count records found for each data integrity query. Click the blue SQL link to see the actual SQL of the query. In this case, the SQL is: SELECT * FROM tblContact WHERE [street]+[City]+[State]+[Zip] Is Null. Click View to see the records found in a read-only format. Click Sel to Select the records found in the Contact table and open the Contact form with only the problem records selected. Click Export to export the records found to Excel, CSV, Text, etc. If it is possible to fix a problem using an SQL Update query, we can create a query qFix query. A Fix button is then visible and the user simply clicks Fix and confirms that they want to run the query to fix the problem. If all queries show 0 records, there are no problems with your data.
