    Beginners question


    I have a silly question about tables. I have a main table that all data is sent to thru a form. I created copies of that table and named them a different name. I connected relationships from the main table to all the others connecting asset I.D. My question is..... if i add data thru the form that goes to the main table will all the other tables collect the same data at the same time or do i have to creat relationships with each column in all the tables?

    Hi,

    might I ask why you created copies of the main table? The whole point of a database is to have the data stored in one place without any doubles or copies??????????

    beginners question

    The other table are by customer. So I could creat a query from that and have just those customers show up

    Yes. Just create queries that pull and sort the data you want from the one table.
