Updating records in related tables...

Is it possible to add a record in one table and have Access automatically
add date from one of the fields into another table??

In more detail:

Table1 has the following fields: Product_ID, Price, Weight etc...
Table2 has the following: Product_ID, Category, Department

I need to add a new product into Table1 and automatically have the
product_id added to Table2.

Anyone care to enlighten me - or point me in the direction of a tutorial??

Many thanks.

Access lacks triggers, so you cannot do this automatically at the engine
level.

If products are always entered into a form, you can use the AfterInsert
event of the form to Execute an Append query statement to insert a record
into Table2.

You could use relationships to link Product_ID in tables 1 and 2. A new
Product_ID could not be added to table 1 unless there was a record in table
2 with that product ID. Anyone needing a new Product_ID would have to 1st
enter it into table1.

For years I have been using VBA extensively for updating data to tables after processing. By this I mean if I had to do some intensive processing that resulted in data in temp tables, I would have VBA code that wrote the results of that away to the db, either creating new records or updating existing records, whichever was relevant. This may also include deleting records. Now I generally do this by opening a recordset on the source data...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
