1-1 relationship and data entry
How can I ensure that data is entered in the 2nd table (non-public) in a 1-1
relationship? Because the join is 1-1, it is presenting a problem when data is not entered in 2nd table. In this situation, Access will show all records in table 1 (public data) . When I query tables 1 & 2 together, the records that do not have data in table 2 are not in the results. I need a way to automatically enter a data element in table 2 working around the human error problem. Thanks. |

(and base your data entry form on the table) |

(and base your data entry form on the table) I can't keep in same table because the table with public data will ultimately be linked to for other databases. The non-public data must not be comprised. Thank you for your suggestion, however. |

no, you don't - and you don't *want* to enter a record in table 2 until you actually need to enter valid data in that table. instead, in your query, use a Left Join, as MVP John Vinson explained in your other thread in this newsgroup - that will allow you to see all the records in table 1, whether or not there are related records in table 2. hth "Denise" wrote in message ...
