Default Duplicating Data in Tables

Please help...this is killing me!

Is there any way that I can enter certain information in
one table (i.e. account #) and it create a blank record
in another table with with the same account #.

I have the account # as the primary key.

Thanks,

Kristen

Default Duplicating Data in Tables

Generally, I would advise against a "blank related Record in another Table"
and only create a Record when required, i.e. storing valid, non-duplicated
data.

If you create a blank Record and then the user stops doing data entry, you
end up with meaningless Record which will probably compromise your database
later.

You may like to explain in details why you need a "blank" Record and someone
may propose a solution for you.
