Forms design for one-to-one tables
What's the best way to design a form to populate a table (tblPhase2), which
is related on a one-to-one basis with another table (tblPhase1) which has already been populated. I would like the user to enter the data from three fields (which will be unique to only onerecord) from tblPhase1 and then fill in frmPhase2, linking the two together without ever seeing the primary key fields. I have tried using combo boxes based on a query, but I just can't make it work. Suggestions?

Create a subform out of tblPhase2 on the form used for populating tblPhase1.

There's a sample database at
http://www.mvps.org/access/tables/tbl0013.htm that should help. -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP Babe in the Woods wrote: What's the best way to design a form to populate a table (tblPhase2), which is related on a one-to-one basis with another table (tblPhase1) which has already been populated.
