I just received a mess. They admit it and are willing to do whatever it takes to fix. they have 4 tables and they entered the data in the tables, they have no forms. each table is a different set of data for the same people they used an autoid and set it to a primary key, not sure why, but they did this in each table. so they had table 1 autoid 1 bob jones table 2 autoid 1 bob jones table 3 autoid 1 bob jones they all match id and name until you get to table 4 in table 4 its multi records for the same people autoid 1 bob jones autoid 2 bob jones autoid 3 jim smith autoid 4 jim smith I made a table demographics and put their main identifiers in here I can link this to table 1 2 3 all works fine. Now to table 4 is there a way to get table 4 structured to work as a 1 to many with the new tbldemographics? I can't think of any way to get table 4 to work but I wanted to ask before going to any extremes like re entering the data. thanks for any ideas |

I just stuck in a new RecordNumber in each and then updated the table with a little code. Worked fine so 1 bob jones is now tied to three records in the multi table all with 1 as its id. ![]() |
