Apologies if the answers are very simple, I'm a wee bit of an Access newbie!

I have created a form with which I am going to record gym attendances for my members in my members table. When I do this it will update a table 'gymattendance' which stores the information about price paid, date, memberID etc.

My first problem is that despite 'tblgymattendance' being linked to 'tblmembers', when I go to record a gym visit in my form, it will only allow me to enter new members, rather than select current members to record a visit. How do I get around this?

Once I get that sorted, I need the form to then send that record in its entirity to a new table, 'tbltakings,' which stores information on all the gym sessions attended to calculate total moneys taken from those sessions. I have been unable to find a way add records to 'tbltakings.'

If the latter is not possible, would a simple update query work to add to a field of 'totaltakings,' in 'tbltakings' ?

Many thanks in advance this is really starting to get on my nerves!!!
 
red7,

Just a comment on the first part. If you have the forms DataEntry
property set to YES, then your form will ONLY be able to add new
records.

Thanks for your help Wayne, how do I go about switching it to 'no,' or indeed just finding out if it is on 'YES'?
 
Red,

Get your form in Design View. It is on of the Data Tab of the form's properties.
