Hi all,
Unfortunately, I don't see a way around this. Basically, I am dealing with
2 seperate databases.
tblPermit (a disconnected copy from the permit database) has the PK of
PWPermitID.
tblCuts (from the Utility Street Cuts database) has the PK of CutID and
eventually gets assigned thePWPermitID.
tblUtility (from the Utility Street Cuts database) has the PK of UtilityID
and is used as a FK for the previous 2 tables.
tblComplaints (from the Utility Street Cuts database) has a field for each
of the previous 3 PK's, UtilityID the only one being required at the time of
data entry.
tblComplaints is used in a subform to collect complaint data pertaining to
Permits or Utility Cuts and is also available as a standalone form. I did
the standalone form because the person doing the data entry may not have
immediate access to the Permit or Utility Cut data.
What I am trying to figure out is how to assign the proper FK to the
record(s) once all the data is available. Right now all I have is a form
based on tblUtility with 3 subforms linked on the UtilityID.
Thank you for your time,
NickX
