These are papers in boxes. Beyond that I do not know. Since the total fields they intend to enter is about 20 or so, the client intends to just "key it in". John W.

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).

(It should work well in MS Access with properly organized forms (with subforms) and maybe with a few lines of code)...
