COPY IDENTICAL FORMS TO TABLES WITHOUT RE-DESIGNING
I am tying to set up a database with several tables and I want an almost
identical form attached to each one. Can I copy or do I need to create them through design view again |

COPY IDENTICAL FORMS TO TABLES WITHOUT RE-DESIGNING
I think that you should step back and rethink things. Similar forms assumes
similar tables. Hopefully you aren't creating a table for something like each division, each year, or something similar. Similar data should all be in the same table. If you are doing something like a new table for each year, then next year you will need to create a new table, at least one new form, and the queries and reports for this table. It's better to have just one table with a field to identify what makes the data different such as TheYear or TheDivision. Then you can set up the queries, forms, and reports to work with this field to get the data that you want. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.
