When trying to setup a one-to-many relationship with referential integrity, I get the following error Message:

The operation failed. There are too many indexes on table tblClientInfo. Delete some of the indexes and try again.

The ‘Help’ button has the following message:

The operation failed. There are too many indexes on table <name>. Delete some of the indexes on the table and try the operation again. (Error 3626)

A table in a Microsoft Jet database can have no more than 32 indexes. You cannot create additional indexes on a table with this many indexes. Further, you cannot compact a database containing a table with this many indexes because compacting a database involves creating several new indexes.
Delete one or more indexes from the named table and try the operation again.



I tried to compact the database and it compacted fine – which surprised me because the help section said it shouldn’t compact.

When I list the indexes through the documenter, there are 13 listed. The table specs say I can have 32.

I do have several one-to-many relationships set on this table, is there a limit to relationships? I can’t find one listed in the specifications.

Please Help
