Once again I think that I'm looking for something so simple that Google can't help me find a similar thread. Help would be so appreciated.
I have a Position table whose primary key is the Position Number.
I have an Employee table whose primary key is the Employee Number.
The Employee table also has foreign key Active Position Number.
That is, tblPositions[pkPositionNumber] is linked to tblEmployees[fkActivePositionNumber] in a one-to-many relationship.
I have a working query that uses their relationship.
I have a working form that uses their relationship.
I can look up both employees and positions in this lovely form.
HOWEVER
When I try to use the form to create a new record, it doesn't automatically populate tblEmployees[fkActivePositionNumber].
The new record is correctly created in tblPositions.
The new record is created in tblEmployees, except for population of the foreign key.
Sooo, when I close and come back in, they are unrelated to each other of course.
What is an easy way to make this happen?
Many thanks from The Great White North!
