So I have a list of records in a continuous form. Within that record is a checkbox called GRT. GRT stands for Gross Receipts Tax, when it is checked I have an after update event that adds a new auto-generated record for the GRT entry. The new record copies the date from the origional record, calculates GRT from the origional records amount field and some other things like that to create the new record. Creating the GRT record entry has went well.
But, if the user removes the GRT checkbox from, or deletes the origional record, I need to delete the corresponding auto-created GRT record. I thought I could do this by simply grabbing the origional records ID and copying it into the auto-generated records field called "AssociatedID".
Problem is, when I reference the origional records record ID, it always comed in as "-1". I can display the ID on the form and it shows correct, but if I msgbox the records ID, it shows as "-1". I cannot figure out how to capture the origional records ID so I can insert it into the new auto-generated record so the two records are linked so I can later use that link to delete the proper associated record.
How do I reference the origional records ID or am I approaching this all wrong? Thanks for your help.
