Thanks for sticking with me. I don't think I explained my setup very well as
I only have one form, with no subforms.
All in all, I have two tables and one form.
Table 1: The linked table ("Excel Data")
Table 2: The table access can edit ("Editable Data")
Form 1: Tracking (This form only edits information from "Editable Data")
I use the tracking form to edit and add information in table 2. I would
have linked form 1 to table 1, however, as a linked table access can't save
the information back to the excel file. (At least, I can't figure out how.)
So, in an effort to make the data from table 1 editable, we copy the
information from table 1 (the linked table) to table 2 (the access table),
and then use the form (tracking) to make changes and input new data.
The reason we can't just do a single import and work completely in access is
that new records will be created in excel every week.
Does that help?
