I'm just getting back into Access after a 8yr stint hiding away in Excel.
I'm using Access 2010 using a standard DB, (no SQL server).
I am trying to create a new record in the Previous School table based on an existing value of Student table.
Every student has an ID number, and every new student is given a student ID.
Every student also has a previous school (from the previous-school table).
I have made a simple form which displays this data.
The student data I have imported/pasted into the tabled link with a query and I can update these records, i.e. the query will return "School A" and I can change this to "School B".
However if I create a new student using my form, the previous school is empty, and read-only, (because there is no matching record in the previous school table), therefore I cannot type/select "School C".
What is the correct/preferred way of creating this record in the previous school table, so that I can populate the record?
The query "join" between student and previous school is "Include all records from student, and only those from "previous school" where joined fields are equal.
