'Duplicate the main record: add to form's clone.
With Me.RecordsetClone
.AddNew


![Date__] = Me.[Date__]
![Date Mod] = Me.[Date Mod]
![Crash Cart Number] = Me.[Crash Cart Number]

'etc for other fields.
.Update

'Save the primary key value, to use as the foreign key for the related records.
.Bookmark = .LastModified
lngID = ![ID]



'Duplicate the related records: append query.
If Me.[Dispensing 2 Subform].Form.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0 Then



'***HERE IS THE NEW CODE
strSql = "INSERT INTO [Dispensing 2] ( [Drug name], [File ID],[Quantity],[Expiry Date], [Batch Number],[Replaced Quantity],[Availability] ) " & _
"SELECT [Dispensing 2].[Drug name], " & lngID & " AS Expr1 , [Quantity], [Expiry Date], [Batch Number],[Replaced Quantity],[Availability] " & _
"FROM [dispensing 1] INNER JOIN [Dispensing 2] ON [dispensing 1].ID = [Dispensing 2].[File ID] " & _
"WHERE ((([dispensing 1].ID)=" & lngOldID & "));"

Debug.Print strSql


'***ON YOUR ORIGINAL CODE YOU NEVER ACTUALLY RAN THE SQL!
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSql
DoCmd.SetWarnings True


Else
MsgBox "Main record duplicated, but there were no related records."
End If

'Display the new duplicate.
Me.Bookmark = .LastModified
End With
End If

Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, , "cmdDupe_Click"
Resume Exit_Handler

ANY HELP PLEASE

This looks like it should be getting the user from the form. Is it not?

!User = Forms![LIST_OF_FORMS]![txtnameid]

If not, change the form reference as appropriate.

But i need to get the value in subform.

Then add that field to the insert SQL, and concatenate a form reference into the SELECT clause.

"FROM [dispensing 1] INNER JOIN [Dispensing 2] ON [dispensing 1].ID = [Dispensing 2].[File ID] " & _
"WHERE ((([dispensing 1].ID)=" & lngOldID & ")) ;"


but the value i got in the field as 0 and -1 .

please any advise .

Do you want to match the user in the old record (in your example, 2 for each)? Or should every new record have the user performing this task?

Hi again,

In the SELECT section, you have to repeat the table name for each value, so:

the user performing this task.

Then something like:

"SELECT [Dispensing 2].[Drug name], " & lngID & " AS Expr1 , [Quantity], [Expiry Date], [Batch Number],[Replaced Quantity],[Availability], Forms![form entery]![txtnameid1] " & _
"FROM [dispensing 1] INNER JOIN [Dispensing 2] ON [dispensing 1].ID = [Dispensing 2].[File ID] " & _
"WHERE ((([dispensing 1].ID)=" & lngOldID & "));"
