Default Data entry into table field.

Thanks John, I am becoming increasingly aware of that and agrre entirely, but
I have what I have now, and am attempting to salvage both my work and my
dignity, what little is left, of course. I know what I wish to do but I am in
the unfortunate situation of having to work backwards. Fortunately the
windows and doors are suspended in cyberspace until I build the frame around
them. They are good doors and windows but I don't wish to drop them and have
to rebuild them when they are already done. My house was easier to build but
I was doing it for me and had the luxury of time, not so in this case. It is
a steep learning curve but not impossible thanks to this great web resource
and people like yourself and Crystal. I only hope I can be as helpful in the
future to others.

How do I link the form data to the table once it is made,
please? Since the data will be new how does it create a new record for that
data?


STOP.

Read Crystal's tutorials.

You're going about this backwards; Tables are the foundation of the house,
Forms are the windows and windowframes. You don't start assembling the windows
and windowframes into the house and then start thinking about where to pour
the foundation!
