This is probably very easy and my mind is tired, but I need help ASAP on this issue... it is driving me CRAZY!
Here is my issue:
I have a client form with clientID (and other pertinent information). I want to open an employee information form that will show only employees for that client. (It opens frmEmployeeData by clientID and the form has a subform to show each Employees information).
My problem is that I get an error if there is not an existing record already (ie... tblEmployeeData does not have a record YET). How can I either create a record and THEN open the form or open the form to show the client information with a record waiting to be filled in?
My table names: tblClient (clientID) and tblEmployeeData (clientID) are the linked fields. Is there a way (in the background) to create a field in each related table each time a new record is created?
What am I forgetting or missing here????
Thanks for any suggestions,
