Version 7.7a on ms access/windows 2000 SP4
I've been running my board for quite awhile and all of a sudden, i'm getting the following error when trying to create a poll
--------------------------------------------------- Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e21' You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'tblAuthor'. /post_message.asp, line 522 --------------------------------------------------
and the url that is in the address bar looks like this. http://rrforum.hopto.org/post_message.asp?PN=0 - http://rrforum.hopto.org/post_message.asp?PN=0
Notice the "PN=0"
I've looked at other posts and the guest account is still there and i've already run a compact and repair on the access database.
I'm also using account that have the correct permissions including the admin account.
I do not want to start from scratch as i've put many hours into integrating the forum into my website.
I've also tried replacing the following files
poll_form_inc.asp
poll_create_form.asp
I can post a regular message in the same forum where i create polls without any problems.. just can't create a new poll....
Any ideas?

We don't allow any of the members to create polls... but there are three accounts we use that we've tried creating a poll with and they all give the error above... and for arguments sake.. i created a new user and assigned it admin privledges .. and still got the same error...

Just to note.. i seen other posts with the same type of error with people not being able to delete users... i went in a deleted that new test user account after unsuccesfully trying to create a poll. So deleting a user is not any issue.... |

It could be a corrupted file, so try reuploading the files again. Just as a note, the problem other users get with deleting users that you mention only happens if the built in Guest account has been removed from the database. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Just an update... I've got the poll working.. but i had to manually add it to the database with Microsoft Access.
The good news is site visitors can vote....
If anyone can provide any idea why i can't created a new poll it would be appreciated.
