hey,hey

sorry for the late reply.. Was on site. Anywya tried a lot of things
including what has been suggested.. I think the best method for me now is to
try and add multiple new records, assigning default values for each of the
incidents in the incidents table. I now need to know how i can automatically
add new records.

What i need access to do:

if i add in an employee in the form it must automatically add multiple
records in my linking table...

Anyw help in this will be greatly appreciated. \

Kind regards and wishing you all a merry x-mass

It sounds as if you actually need three tables.
1 for the Incidents
1 for the Employees
1 that designates which employees worked the incident

tblIncident - tblAssignees
one to many

tblAssignees - tblEmployees
many to one

tblAssignees will basically be a table that grabs the ID of the incident
and the ID of the Employee and ties it all together.

I'm currently creating a database that assigns problems to people that could
solve them. I have a table called "employees" and one called "incident
catagories". Since one incident may be solved by multiple people and since
one person could solve multiple problems, the database is a many-to-many.
Employees table contains a a unique ID called Cont ID. The Incident
Catagories table contains a unique ID (for each incident) called IncCatID. To
link the two tables to make the many-to-many relationship another table was
made, where the data had to be inputted manually. This data assigned
incidents to people and contained both the IncCatID and ContID.

To make the database more versatile, a form was made that can add/edit
employees in the employees table. The problem now is that a form or sub form
is required to add or edit a new or current employees responsibility i.e.
match the employee to the incident.

I seriously require help in this matter urgently... I have tried almost
everything i can think of.
