Change the Template that is Attached to an RI Trigger

You can use the Trigger Templates dialog to change the template that is attached to an RI trigger type and view or change the macro code used by a particular template. When you change the template for a trigger, you can use a built-in template or a custom (user override) template.

To change the template that is attached to an RI trigger

1. Click RI Triggers Templates on the Database menu.

   The Trigger Templates dialog opens.

2. Work with the following options and click Close:

   Referential Integrity Type

   Displays the name of the database action and referential integrity action (for example, CHILD Delete CASCADE) that causes the associated trigger to fire.

   Attached Trigger Template

   Displays the name of the trigger template that is generated for the corresponding Referential Integrity Type.

   Rebind

   Attaches the default trigger templates to the associated referential integrity type.

   Detach

   Macro Toolbox

   Opens the Macro Toolbox where you can select a macro to add to the trigger template.

   Template Code

   Your changes are saved and the dialog closes. Click Cancel to close the dialog without saving your changes.
