Is it possible to use multiple tables in a single form?

Is it possible to use multiple tables in a single form without using sub-forms? I want to be able to input information that goes to multiple tables at the same time. I can post a design of what I'm trying to achieve if necessary.

Generally speaking this is what SELECT queries are for.

Here are two articles that are helpful to understand the syntax: Basic SQL Syntax for Access Queries and SQL JOINS.

The general approach to this is to use a so-called "unbound" form and issue the needed insert/update by code.

Personally I don't see the point of not using subforms, as that's easier and when using a "single form" view and no borders, the users won't be able to tell that there are subforms used.

I also suspect that you're trying to store "redundant" data, as this type of Q often "hides" the storing of totals in separate tables. Such an approach is "not done" in a real well designed database.

For more info you'll need to supply us with more information...
