[aa]

Is there a syntax for INSERT to add records to two tables in one go?

Thanks, but how this fits into the database integrity supported by Access?
If i have two related tables I am supposed to add date to both of them at the same time?

No. To maintain referential integrity (which is what you are
describing) you add data to the non-dependent table first & then to
each table further down in the dependency chain. IOW, if there is a
Sales table that uses EmployeeID, there must be an EmployeeID in the
Employees table before that EmployeeID can be entered into the Sales
table. This is usually a 1 to many relation - the 1 being the
Employees table and the many being the Sales table.

In Access Help read the article "About relationships in an Access
database." Index search keyword "referential integrity."
