OpenRecordset, AddNew won't add a record?

[carriey]

I'm no good at code but through lots of researching have managed to come up
with this and obviously I've missed something because it isn't adding a
record - hopefully someone can tell me where I'm going wrong.

Where the error appears is at rs.TOD.Update and it tells me "You cannot add
or change a record because a related record is required in
Subtbl_Obligations_MAIN".

What I'm trying to accomplish here is from a click of a button on a subform
with a subform (within a Main Form), add the Record_ID and Oblig_ID to the
Junction table and then add the appropriate fields to my two other Subtables.

Can anyone out there help me? Thank you so much!

You need to "end" the adding of the new record with an .Update action to
actually save the new record.

rsTJ.AddNew 'Add Record_ID to TBL_JUNCTION
'Set Fields
rsTJ!Record_ID = Me!RecordID 'Me object is active form internal
inspections
rsTJ.Update ' Save the new record
rsTJ.Bookmark = rsTJ.LastModified

Thanks Ken. I put in the update and now I get the same error but it comes up
at
rsTJ.Update

rsTJ is my Junction Table for my many-to-many and only has Record_ID and
Oblig_ID in it. My thoughts are that I should somehow be adding the Oblig_ID
before rsTJ.Update instead of having the AddNew in rsTO.........would that be
right? Is there a way to do that?

You will need to add a value for both fields in the junction table. The
error message that you're getting apparently indicates that a NULL value for
Oblig_ID field is not valid because this field must contain a value that is
in the Subtbl_Obligations_MAIN table.

So, what I'm actually trying to do is create the Oblig_ID as it doesn't exist
yet. I think what my code is doing is saying that the Record_ID for the
Record I'm on should be added to the Junction table but AddNew won't create
the new Oblig_ID?

Is there a way to do that in rsTJ

rsTJ.AddNew
rsTJ!Record_ID = Me!RecordID
rsTJ!Oblig_ID = ????? (like AddNew)

You will need to add a record to the Subtbl_Obligations_MAIN table FIRST
before you add the new record to the junction table. That new record in the
Subtbl_Obligations_MAIN table must have the same value for Oblig_ID as the
value that you'll be entering for the new record in the junction table.

You can add the new record to the Subtbl_Obligations_MAIN table by a similar
code approach as you're now using for the junction table.
