Superclass have only a autonumber.. is it possible?
Work with IT for many years, and have lately begun looking into DB and MS
Access. So Im quite a rookie in this area. Ok, Got a superclass named table1. That class has only one attribute, an ID which is an auto number. Then I have to subclasses called table2 and table3. They have the foreign key to ID, and a couple of other attributes. When I add a instance to my table2, I want it to add a new auto number in my superclass, table1. eg a new instance in table1.Is this possible at all? It seems that I need to first add to table1, and after that use that id in table2 or table3, and that is not possible here. any advice here? br Micke |

Since the value in table2 involves a foreign key pointing back to a record
in table1, oh wait, you don't have a record in table1 yet! Yes, by all means, start the record in table1, then finish table2 details. -- Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP Disclaimer: This author may have received products and services mentioned in this post.
