build continuous form on screen, when complete insert all record into table

[mdavid]

Hi,
I have a main form with a subform SubA- single record, SubA contains a second subform SubB which is a continuous form. In this continuous form I want to be able to add edit and delete records on screen without writing to a table. When the continuous form is complete I want to insert all the records into a table. Is this possible or would I need to use 2 tables - a temporary table to hold the continuous form records and a second table that I would transfer the records to when the continuous form is complete?



Thanks for any help
David

If data is not in table then there are no records. Why would you save to a table to just then copy records to another table?

Thanks for your quick reply, just trying to get my head around what I want to do. I understand what you're saying whatever's on the screen exists in a table.

Whatever's on screen exists in table if the form is bound to table or query.

...would I need to use 2 tables - a temporary table to hold the continuous form records and a second table that I would transfer the records to when the continuous form is complete...

Yes...that is the standard approach for this type of thing, but this is a complicated approach, and should only be taken if there is a really compelling reason for doing so, rather than simply using a Bound Form to begin with!

Why do you need to do this?
