I have 3 related tables - tbl_Order has many tbl_OrderDetail and tbl_Order also has many tbl_Customers.
The process for adding orders means that quite often staff do not get time to add customer details (from their paperwork) until afterwards. I have a frm_ClientsOrder with a subform for Frm_OrderSub and a further subform Frm_OrderDetailSub. If I enter info in order (i.e. client then order then order details) this work OK. However, since staff often enter customer details last then it doesn't work as when they enter client details the subforms move onto new records and any order or order details are lost. I have also tried using a button to open a customer form but of course it doesn't recognise clientID<>clientID because they are blank.
I am a little stuck now on how they can enter customer details after the order details. Maybe I have my relationships wrong or am doing something silly? Thanks in advance.
