Default Updating 2 Different Tables

I have a database that tracks purchases and I want to expand it to also track
account balance. Is it possible to have entries on a form w/subform update 2
tables? Here is more details...I have a form named Purchasefrm based on a
table named Purchasetbl and the form has a subform based on a query named
Purchasedetailsextendedqry. When data is entered for [PurchaseDate],
[PurchaseCategory] and [ExtendedPrice] I would like the table
AccountTransactionList to be updated also, fields being: [Category],
[EntryDate] and [TransactionAmount]. I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

I can't understand what you are asking. The lack of responses so far
suggests I may not be the only one. Some explanation of your table structure
may help, including which table contains the fields you mention (the main
form table or the subform table). In general, data should be stored in one
place, and linked as needed. I don't know how AccountTransactionList relates
to anything else, so I can't suggest anything specific.
