Hi
Want to preface by saying I'm brand new to Access. Have NO experience with codes. I apologize in advance if that makes it difficult to explain!
I have set up my main data entry form as a navigation form with 5 tabs/pages. The first three all contain fields from my main data table, the other 2 tabs/pages have fields from related tables.
Ok, so my question is: is if there is a way to go from tab/page 1 through the other 4 in succession with the main primary key (in this case an object ID number) automatically populated through. As it is now, when I start a new record for an object on tab/page 1, and then go to the next tab/page, it registers a new record has been created (at the bottom of the form it updates the total amount of records entered), but I have to manually enter in the ID field at the top the object ID number that I am entering info for. Otherwise it is still showing the details associated with the last record I was in the form updating.
Hopefully there is a button/event code or something that can help me here!
I hope that made sense! please let me know if you need further explanation.
Thanks as always for your time and help!!
