Hi,
We could have a certain number of similar tables to be updated or appended to using only one form, data at the end of one table is copied to the next table, and so on, and the scenario is simplified as follows.
I have three tables each of which has two columns, so table1 is
T1 with the following columns e1, d1; has a form F1 for data entry,
and table 2 is
T2 with the following columns e2, d2, also has a form F2 for data entry,
and table 3 is
T3 with the following columns e3, d3; also has a form F3 for data entry.
The tables are linked up on the autonumber fields e1, e2 and e3; while d1, d2 and d3 are the columns to be entered with numeric type data.
However at the start, T1 was initialised with seven records, and T2 has six records while T3 has five records and all the time, the number of records in T1 should always be one more than the number of records in T2 and similarly, number of records in T2 also be greater by one than that of T3.
The question is:
In order to save time entering data into all tables, having entered data in F1, how do you append the last record in T1 to the last record of T2 and similarly, the last record of T2 also copied or is used to append to the last record of T3, so that data entry is only done in F1 ? ( F2 and F3 were used to input initial data into their respective tables and will no longer be needed)
I should think, I have to write a VBA code or something but it appears I am messing up with the variables and lost focus.
Could you please give me a guide. That would be most grateful and thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
