I'm afraid your request is a little too general. Most of us will be happy to help with specific issues and give general direction on how to overcome a particular problem; however, speaking for myself, what you are asking for doesn't fall into this category.

One of the thing you should consider, what's the oldest version of Access the company currently using? If all Access users in the company had upgraded to 2007 or above then there's no problem at all. However, .accdb is only accessible by Access 2007 and 2010, older versions will have error for not able to open it. I'll take a look with your database when I get home.

The company is actually using 2007 version of the microsoft access.i appreate you taking time to read and reply to my plea for assistance..wise peple say the best present you can give another person is to teach and help him in how something is done because by that you are contributing to the development of that individual

Ok,from what I see in your database the relationship are fine for me. The problem you encounter for reference number from 2 table, I guess you try to make the form auto identify and place the number in the correct field right? If that's the case, in a simple way I would suggest you make note for your numbers, which used to indicate whether the number belongs to Brokers or Insurers. In a harder way, you can add a type field to indicates the number, and add some coding where neccessary. Or in more harder way is to take VBA coding to auto place the number to the suitable location, this also requires an invisable field / column to identify the type in the table.

All the other tables and forms are fine, just do some field size adjustments will be fine. Take your first step, then you can move on with more advance development, remember to keep looking back on your case study to prevent going "off-topic" in the outcome.

For VBA learning, you go take a look in HERE, its a tutorial web of how to use VBA in Access by basic. You'll find its similar to JAVA programming only in a more simple form.
