Hope someone can help me with this one. I created a new project with all functions (ie list, view, edit, add etc). The problem is on the add and edit pages. Many fields are showing as "required" with the asterisk, even though I didn't specify "data required" on step 8 (formatting). Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I only wanted a couple of fields to be required but all the others are shwoing that way too. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What database are you using??SQL or Access...Either way it sounds like when you created the tables, you specified that the record in the table was necessary. I would start looking there. Best of luck.

I'm using Access and none of the fields are set as "required" in the dbas tables. Any other suggestions?

You need to have the 'Allow Zero Length' set to 'Yes' for all fields under the 'General' tab (in MS Access design mode).

Thanks, that's exactly what the problem was. Appreciate your quick response.
