[AccessD] Entering data in related tables in a single form

>I suppose your base is in "bounders camp" while looking  for this "quick

LOL, yea, given I am an unholy bounder, going unbound would not qualify as
quick and dirty.

I have discovered that as long as you include the PK/FK pairs, and populate
the data in the parent/child order it seems to work.

This is a moderately complex database, normalized, with lookup tables etc.
and I need to get about 3 or 4 of the major tables populated with new claim
/ claimant / policy data from a ton of new claims on an "emergency" basis
(2000 claims input in then next couple of days).

John,

What issues do you mean? (It should work well in MS Access with properly
organized forms (with subforms) and maybe with a few lines of code)...

I suppose your base is in "bounders camp" while looking  for this "quick and
dirty form" solution :)
