Query Design
When creating a query of out of two tables with a one to many relationship,
should you include both linked fields in the query? Can you use a query when adding records to the many side or do you recommend binding the form to a table? |

You can do so; you must indeed do so if you want to be able to update both tables. Can you use a query when adding records to the many side or do you recommend binding the form to a table? You can use a joined query if you wish, but it's usually simpler to use a Form for the "one" side table and a Subform for the "many". You can (and often will) use a single-table query rather than the table directly; this lets you set the sort order, select which fields you want to see, include calculated fields etc. Use some sort of Form in any case - table and query datasheets are of limited utility and should not be used for data entry or editing.
