Hi,

I have a table with multiple lookup tables connected to it. I find it frustrating to have to always have to return to the lookup table when I want to add new information to my main table, but I want the new information to be added to the lookup table.

For example: My lookup table contains the colours "red" and "blue". In my main table I have numerous entries that contain new colours: "white", "orange", "purple", etc. Is there a way that I can create a relationship so that the information in my main working table can automatically be put into the lookup tables.

My main table has numerous lookup tables connected to it, and since I am currently in the process of creating a database for my information. I am trying to find an easier way to process it. Especially since the person who will be using the data process is not especially computer literate. So I need to make the input form as simple as possible. I currently use Access97.

Thanks
