record update to a record in another table..?

Hello,

I have a form linking two tables but they have one field that is
shared called "device" I want to allow data input into one of the
fields and hide the other (so I need it automatically updated from the
first record). How do I have the second record in the separate table
updated based on the change or update of the first record?

I am probably missing something really stupid and easy!

Hope I explained that clearly!!

TIA

J.B.>

Your data structure is not normalized. You should store the data in
field "device" in only one table.

I am trying to move a record from one linked table to another within access, but I'm a complete beginner to VBA and don't know exactly where to begin. I have an access file that has the two linked tables, which each link to separate SQL databases using separate ODBC connections.

Suppose, in a multi-user environment, you have append query SQL in a VBA procedure that looks like INSERT INTO MyTable... and the next line reads MyVar=DMax("","MyTable... You can never be certain that MyVar will be set to the key-field value that was created when the Append query ran. Now, there are other ways to do it - I know - that will ensure you 'nab' the correct record. But I was wondering
