I need help creating a data entry form in access that will update the correct tables with the many to many scenario.
For the data entry form, I want to enter in Student ID (is already auto number), Student Last and First Names, Cell Phone Number and Carrier. Then I also want to be able to select one or more courses from the course table. I want to then be able to store this gathered information in the correct tables.
So now I have gathered the student info and certain info from the course table.
Where I am stuck I understand that the first five fields will update the student table, but Im not sure where the one or more courses that the student selects, will get stored. I can almost see most of you groaning, but Ive been at this for two days AND nights (well, working 8 hours a day at a job too), trying to figure out how to set up the form. I think it may have to do with setting up an update query in the form? That would update the student course link table?
I feel as though this is simple, but I just am just missing a piece of the puzzle. I am a beginner with Access, and athough Ive looked in at least all over, I cannot find an example of how to tie in the tables with the linking tables, so that I can enter in everything I want to on the form, and have what is gathered on the form get stored in the tables correctly, so that when I run queries or reports, I will see the student information and the courses they are currently taking. I feel that my tables and relationships are set up correctly, see attached. Once I can understand how to set up the form for gathering the student information, I will be able to set up something similar for the Instructor. Thank you so much for your help. I can also manage to put in code on the form property if that's what is needed. Id like to get some sleep soon. Sunrz
