I am very new with access. I want to use form (I think) to input data that will update the database. For example, I have four fields that will be used to make up a record and there are 100 records. Each field can be inputted separately, however, in the database I have put in the first column a list of labels. In the forms section, there are four fields which correspond to the database, however, when I input the label in the first field on the form (and the data thats associated with the first field (or record) it needs to match the database. Each column, with the exception of one, will keep a cummulative tally. thx for any thoughts you may have on how to set this up!
