    Updating a table in Acess Automatically

    Hi,

    I am wanting to make an asset management system to display PCs and their users.

    The thing i am trying to do is:

    When a user leaves, I want to be able to delete the user, then it will somehow automatically insert their PC (which is related to them) into another table called spare PC's

    I havn't had much experience with access, especially in the last couple of years. I am running Access 2007

    thanks

    Just a suggestion...Yo u can do this Mike but why not simply have a field maybe a checkmark that denotes that the user has left. You can always raise a query then based on that field that determines who is active and who has left and retrieve PC's or other info via a query? Saves having to manage your synchronisation between two tables or am i off the mark according to the design?
