I have a table that populates specific data from a SQL view when I manually
run an append query - works fine.

What I really need to do is have that table populated automatically the
moment a new record appears in the view - hands-off on my part. How could I
best do this?

Do you mean that you have a link to a view in an SQL Server database
somewhere? If so, you could have a procedure that kicks off according to a
schedule. But as far as having the external data source inform the Access
database of a change - don't know if that's possible or not...

Does this mean you have two copies of the same data? One copy in SQL
server, another in an Access table?

If so, why? You will have to work out how to "synchronize" two independent
sets of data (otherwise, how will you know which one is "correct"?).

If the data is already available in a view, why not link to that view?

More info, please...

Why?

Can't you just base the subform on the linked View? Or are you intentionally
making a (formally redundant) copy of the data?
