Multiple Record Entry

30 New Member
I have two tables

Table1(TripEventTypes)
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. TripEventyTypeID
  2. EventTypeID
Table2(TripEventTypeDe tails)
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. TripEventTypeID
  2. EventTypeDetailID
  3. EventTypeDetailValue
I am trying to insert multiple records into table 2 from a form. Is there a way to do this? example would be a form for a Flight event

Where EventTypeDetail ID = DepartureCity EventTypeDetail Value = City Name

Where EventTypeDetail ID = DepartureDate EventTypeDetail Value = Date

and so on.. for Arrival City, ArrivalDate, Flight Number, SeatNumber

All this would be store in the TripEventTypeDe tails for each type of event.

Right now I have a Main Form(Table1) linked to a Continous SubForm(Table2) where I can input the many details as necessary.

In what way is your current solution not working for you? It seems to me that your current solution should be fine.

The Problem NeoPa is that

suppose i would like to enter flight information in Table2

it would show up as
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. TripEventTypeID  EventTypeDetailID  EventTypeDetailValue 
  2.        1         DepartureDate           01/03/09
  3.        2         DepartureCity           London
  4.        3         ArrivalDate             01/04/09
  5.        4         ArrivalCity             NYC
The problem might be that this table isn't normalized. I am storing multiple types of data in one column. Also other than in a continous form there doesn't seem a way to edit all 4 records within the same form.

I was thinking of changing the design and adding tables to accomodate "Accomodations, Flights,Taxis,, CarRental" and then relate that to a Trips Table.

What do you think?

What is TripEventTypes. EventTypeID? I can't see any explanation for this.

Frankly I'm struggling to get any type of handle on how your data fits together. It's good that you show some example data, but "it would show up as" ... is very unclear as to what you are trying to say. Did you mean "should"? "Does" possibly? Is this talking about how it should show on the form?

I can't make sense of it I'm afraid.

The current setup of tables :

TravelAutohriza tion > Trips > TripEventTypes > TripEventTypeDe tails

Each Travel Authorization has one or more Trips (

Each Trip has one or more Events (i.e. Flight, Accomodation, Taxi, Car Rental)

Each Event has one or more Event Details (i.e, Departure Date, Arrival Date, Confirmation#, Room)

Does this make sense

@NeoPa
Not much I'm afraid. I have a confused picture in my head. I need to know how TripEventTypes. EventTypeID fits into it. This doesn't seem to get me anywhere.

Hi, I know virtually nothing about creating Macros in Access.

I'm really not sure how to go about this in Access. What I've created is a table for each location. Those tables are identical in format but different in information. The tables are named after key points such as the store number and the store ID. The fields of those tables are generic fields such as sales per day, bank deposit and what not. The first field for each store table is the date and I've set that as the primary key as one...

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,...
