Superclass have only a autonumber.. is it possible?

Micke__1

Work with IT for many years, and have lately begun looking into DB and MS
Access. So Im quite a rookie in this area. :)

Ok,
Got a superclass named table1. That class has only one attribute, an ID
which is an auto number.

Then I have to subclasses called table2 and table3. They have the foreign
key to ID, and a couple of other attributes.

When I add a instance to my table2, I want it to add a new auto number in my
superclass, table1. eg a new instance in table1.Is this possible at all?

It seems that I need to first add to table1, and after that use that id in
table2 or table3, and that is not possible here.

any advice here?

Since the value in table2 involves a foreign key pointing back to a record
in table1, oh wait, you don't have a record in table1 yet!

Yes, by all means, start the record in table1, then finish table2 details.
