    Combining tables for data entry on a form

    Hello,

    I have a situation where I have been asked to combine two tables and make a form to continue to enter data. I have created a relationship between the tables and have gotten to creating the form but it doesn't allow me to add a new record. The "new record" selection at the bottom of the form is not selectable. I tried creating a add new record button but that was a no go also. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

      I have a date field on both tables and another field called spills_injuries in both tables that are being used to link them

        I would look into joining them together in a query using and Inner or Outer joing depending on how you want to do it.
