    Thumbs up Simple ACCESS Help Needed. Any Help Is Much Appreciated.

    Hello, I am very new to access and am setting up a user friendly database.



    I will try to outline the situation the best I can.


    I have 2 tables: (Both tables have the same exact field names, and table #2 has 1 extra field which doesn't need to be changed)
    The fields are:
    -Breed
    -Species
    -Hair


    I want to make a user friendly form with 3 fields. The user inputs the main field, presses a button and it automatically populates the other 2 fields with the matching data. (Example: The user enters "Black Labrador" in the first field, presses a button and it pulls the data from table #1 and populates the other 2 fields with "Dog" & "Long Haired")

    Then, I want another button that will take the information from those three fields and update the information on table #2 to match it. (Table #2 has one extra field which is always constant, and that is why I need the info pulled from table #1 into table #2)

    It seems like it will be very simple, but I just cant figure it out. I tried relating the tables with no success.

    Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Maybe these pictures will help. The form is how I want it to work, as of now it is just for show. How can I make it a reality?

    It sounds more like a school project that a real world problem. We're not in to school projects on this forum.

    I actually enjoy helping, which is why I'm on this forum, but it does not help the poster if we do the homework. If you can ask why a specific operation does not do what you want then suggestions can be offered. Outlining a complete process and saying you can't figure it out is way too broad a post.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
