My relationships in my database aren't working right.  So, I want to
check the Enforce Referential Integrity to enforce the relationship
between my donor table and my donations table.  It won't let me because
there are some records that don't have a donor ID on them.  Is there a
way to have it automatically tell me which records are the problem?
 
Also, I messed up and my donor ID, which is the primary key on the donor
table, is no longer an autonumber.  It won't let me turn it into an
autonumber because there are already things entered in the data sheet.
I NEED these numbers to stay the same, because these numbers are the
only identifying features on the Donations list.  Can I fix this, or do
I have to guess at a new number everytime I enter a new donor?
 
Also,  I have added new donors and then they aren't there when I use the
form to look for them (there's a little look-up drop down box) on the
form, but they are in the table.  Is there another relationship I need
to create?
