Thank you for the help.
You want to import data into multiple related tables? This can get complicated. Would need a lot more info to advise specifics.
But essentially, yes, the linked table will be populated with import operation.

Thank you for the reply. Below is the relationship. A part number and description on the tblParts. Then location in the tblLocations. One part many locations and one location many parts. I have a excel sheet of parts and there locations. How do I import so they can auto-populate the link table. Is making the link table in excel going to be easier?
Are PID and LID autonumber fields in tblParts and tblLocations?
If so, difficulty with import is getting the PID and LID values into the new link records.
If Excel worksheet is simple, can certainly set a link. Exactly what data is in the Excel sheet? Are these parts and locations already in tblParts and tblLocations?
