Multiple Starting points?

[LenaS]

trying to create a report which gathers information from roughly 15 tables. Most are simple code lookups for descriptions. A to B, A to C, A to D and so on. After setting up these links and clicking ok, I get "Your current link configuration contains multiple starting points. Please be advised that this is generally not supported" My links are all "left-outer"
Can't find anything in help about what would cause this

Hi,
make sure all your link arrows are going the right way.

Already checked that

 

[FoxG]

Hi,
are any of you links going to cause a many to many relationship ??

Geoff

 

[LenaS]

No, they will not.

Hi,

Have you got any tables with an outer join from it and an outer join to it??

Geoff

PS. I'm out of ideas !

Lens,

The problem is probably due to your linking from the code tables to the primary table instead of in reverse.

Make sure all your links start in the primary table and point to the code tables.

I believe that you might also get this table if you have a main table A with a join to table B and a join to table C, and then table B has a separate join to table C. Brian J. Alves

You might also have a table that you have unlinked and forgotten. Scroll down and check for any marooned tables.
