    one form to many tables

    Hi all!

    my access database consists of many tables, one for each business location. A record in these tables will hold information such as sales by category, inventory, cash total, credit total etc. I have a form for each table to enter the data.

    my problem is when it comes to recording deliveries. I could just enter them on the form where I enter the sales, but I need to enter them for all locations through one separate form for deliveries only. I will need to be able to select the appropriate table when entering the delivery. This is the part I do not know how to accomplish.



    Thanks for your time!

    You would not have a different table for each business location.

    suggest you read through this article.

    Just an extra voice to say that your design is flawed and not normalized and should be fixed before going any further.

    And another article:
