What is the best way to enter a new record and have a common ID # or
Social Security #, for example, populate several tables at the same
time? I have a main table with an auto number and a dozen attached
tables with numbers. They all have a 1 to 1 relationship that cascades
info from the main table. I have tried several ideas (update queries,
etc.), but always seem to run into a "key violation," or similar
problem.
Thank you,
Coy

Your tables need to look like this:
TblMainTable
MainTableID
<<Fields>>
TblAttachedTabl e1
AttachedTable1I D
MainTableID
<<Fields>>
TblAttachedTabl e2
AttachedTable1I D
MainTableID
<<Fields>>
repeat for other attached tables.
To enter data you need a main form and one or more subforms. The main form
is based on TblMainTable and each subform is based on one of the attached
tables. You set the LinkMaster and Linkchild properties of each subform to
MainTableID and as you enter data in the subform, Access will automatically
fill in MainTableID in the subform with the same value as MainTableID in the
main form.

I have a database with a moderate number of records in several tables
(the biggest table at the moment is about 800 records). In development
it got moved between 2K and XP repeatedly. Several days ago, it

the "fixed version" didn't open -- same messages as the original -- but
the backup did. But, in the 800 record table only 200 records

Is this a result of corruption from having multiple...

I have a query with criteria that comes from a combo box on a form. I'd
like to set the query up so the user can either limit the criteria to
the selection in the combo box or the user can pull all records. Can't
figure out a way for the query to pull all records. Currently uses the
criteria !!. I've tried a couple of things
to allow for the option of all records, but without any luck. Any
suggestions?

Upon clicking Delete to delete the current record on frmTopics, I want several things to happen:
1) Display a custom message rather than Access's standard "You are about to delete n records" one.
2) Delete the record.
3) Delete all related attribute records.
4) Go to a new record.
Here is my code:
