Using Forms in Access to enter linked data

  • 13 years ago

    I have three linked tables that I want to enter data to using a single form. These tables are:

    tblMember – which stores the details for a member. Its fields are id, firstname, surname & occupation

    tblMemberAddress – which holds the addresses of members; home address, work address etc . Its fields are memberID, housename, postcode, city & addresstype and

    tblMemberGroup – which holds the id of the group the member is assigned to.

    I have managed to use the wizard to create a form to enter details into all of these tables. However, when I view the form in ‘view’ mode it shows a blank form. I suspect that the form is not bound to any of the tables. How do I get the fields to be displayed so I can enter data?
