    Post Create a macro that will automatically create 3 records, each with a different site in <Site> field

    My goal is to create a macro that will automatically create 3 records, populating each with a different site in the <Site> field.



    I have created a data entry form with a data entry Subform. When data is added to the form, <Form ID> is automatically updated in both the form and the Subform. <Form ID> is the relational field and is the key for the Form table. For each record in the Form table, there can be many records in the Subform table. I would like to create a macro that once the <Form ID> is updated in the Subform:
    • Subform Record 1 is completed by + field <Subform ID> being automatically updated + field <Site> is populated with XX.
    • Create Subform Record 2 with same <Form ID> + field <Subform ID> being automatically updated + field <Site> is populated with YY.
    • Create Subform Record 3 with same <Form ID> + field <Subform ID> being automatically updated + field <Site> is populated with ZZ.


    Notes:
    XX, YY, and ZZ are consistent known values.
    By adding the records for each site, it will trigger each site to complete populating data in the Subform.

    I haven't created a database in over 10 years, so I am sorta like a newbie, in some respects. Your help will be truly appreciated, as I have mulled over this for 2 days. Thanks!

    Simplest would be to execute an append query. That query could get the ID from the main form, and presumably the site values from a site table. Your macro or VBA code would execute that query then requery the subform so it displayed the records.
