    Purchase Orders

    I would like to add multiple items to one purchase order record. How would I do that using a split form?

    New user of Access.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    you wouldnt.
    make a master form fOrder (bound to tORders)
    and a subform bound to tOrderDetail. (bound on field OrderID)

    then it behaves like an online shopping cart, 1 order, with many items.

    I don't think a split form is appropriate. I'd use a form bound to the purchase order and a subform bound to the items table. Master/child links would keep them in sync.
