How to create a record using data from another table?

1 New Member
Hi,

First of all, I thank you for reading the following post and taking a little bit of your time helping me figuring this out.

I first tryed to explain my exact case, but it is to hard. Let me try to explain it in a generic way:

I would like to read several information stored in one table [cross] for 2 records each time (which IDs are stored by pair in a table [pair_of_IDS]), put them in an array so that I can make some computation, and then use the data in my array to populate a new record in my [main] table.

I am almost new in VBA for access but I can handle VBA in Excel quiet well.

I guess I need to use a sub which will for each pair of remarkable deals (2 IDs found in [pair_of_IDs].) first read the relevant data from [cross], then store them in an array (X,2), do the relevant computation, then write the new record in [main].

This quiet hard to explain, I hope it is understandable.

I DO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR INSIGHT,

jhoelter

Perhaps it would be more clear if you used a concrete example to demonstrate what you are try to accomplish.

It seems there would be two ways of doing this (if I understand you correctly). The actual problem isn't too clear (although you've started well enough), but I would think you could either produce the results required with an append query which linked two record sources to produce cross related information which, with some manipulation possibly, could be added into your Main table.

Alternatively, you could use some VBA redordset processing (See Access VBA DAO Recordset Loop Using Two Recordsets), load the data into your code and add the new record to your Main table using recordset processing too.

This is basic I know, just an outline. Anything more would need an explanation to fill in some details. Perhaps orangeCat's idea of providing an example situation would be helpful for us. It's always helpful to get some sort of perspective.

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine.

Hi, I'm scratching together an Access database. The development box is Office 95, the deployment box Office 2003. So anyways I am griping about forms and global variables. Say for example I'm adding a customer. The Customer fields are mostly foreign keys that refer to primary keys in other tables, left join instead of junction tables at this point. So, when I want to add a customer record, I also need to add records to the other...

Hi folks, I am trying to set up my database to create a new record in one table when a new record is created in another. Since it is a one-to-one realtionship it certainly would be easier to put the data into one table. Originally it was one table, but I split the table to create conditional field-level security (read-only unless one box was unchecked). However I'm trying to fix one flaw in the whole scheme: When a user adds a new record in...
