Validation Rules and Text not transferring

[Guest]

I have placed validation rules and text in several fields in many tables and have made forms with those tables. My problem is the validation rules and text are not transferring from the table fields to the form fields, yet all the other field properties have transferred. Does anyone know why this is? I was thinking there might be an option in the database properties that controls this but I can't find anything

Thank you
Steve

I have placed validation rules and text in several fields in many
tables and have made forms with those tables. My problem is the
validation rules and text are not transferring from the table fields
to the form fields, yet all the other field properties have
transferred. Does anyone know why this is? I was thinking there

Those properties don't have to be transferred from the table to the
form, because they are enforced by the database engine itself. You can
use the Validation Rule/Text properties on the form to apply other
requirements that are *not* enforced by the database engine, but only by
the form; however, the validation rules you've specified in the table
definitions will still be applied.
