Creating a form to append a table with values from other tables/data entry

by zima8172 . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

I have built an Access DB containing 3 tables: dimensions, time, companies. The tables are not linked and are to be used to look up values for the new form. The goal is to create an Access form that would allow the user to select distinct values from all 3 tables, enter some own data and then execute an append query to add the record to the main table.

Something like this:

Initially I have 3 tables:

Prepopulated Dimensions table with fields:
dimension
….

Prepopulated Time table with fields:
Date
Day
Month
Year

Prepopulated Companies table with fields:
Company
….

My form is to be able to select distinct values (combobox) from all three fields:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)

The record then is appended to the Main table containing:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)

Thanks a lot for your time and help!
