I haven't touched Access in a long time and need some direction for help. I am using Access 2007. Here is what I have.
TableA: Main Information
TabelB: Multiple entries that links to TableA
Example:
TableA: Key, Last, First.....etc
TableB: Key, Action 1
Key, Action 2
.......ETC
I just can't remember how to link the two so in one form, I can add entries for TableB that link to TableA.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Jim

Hey, this is basic stuff - just a one-to-many relation
You need a unique key in table A (parent field) and a field with the same format in table B - the child field.
Needless to say the child can not be unique.
Once you have those fields, look for the relationships item in the tools menu, add tables and drag the parent field to the chield field. On the relationship popup, tick/select the options you want.

Generally you'd build a form based on each table, then add the form based on TableB as a SubForm to the one based on TableA. Link the two on the relevant field (hard to say, but perhaps the Key column?? ... not clear based on your fields).
