I am creating a form to show the change in departments and positions, and
saving that data to 2 different tables.
 
It is rarely necessary or a good idea to save the same data to more than one
table in a well-normalized design. Can you explain more why you feel your
business situation demands this?

Do you have a question?
Also, Long Subject lines get truncated, So it would be good to keep the
subject line short and put the question or comment in the big white space.

Ok; do you have a question or a problem?

Bear in mind that we cannot read your mind, nor do we know anything
about how your tables or forms are structured.

Use a subform and a form, linked by DepartmentID. It will save the
changes to both tables if your database is structured properly.
