Sending a record to a subform query

[Vwilson42]

This is a new post for this same question. The database that I am working on is set up in a very complicated way to me. The database tracks grant applications and awards. Right now there is a section in the database where one can enter a new record (Well this record is imported from an excel file filled in by the person who wants to update a current application or award for a grant) So when the amount changes on a grant a new record is created but the old information needs to be kept for future references. So this information is keyed into a subform on the same form as the new record. This is quite a bit of information, so I want to know if a button can be created to export this single record to the archive file set up on the same form (same format--different color fields- subform) Basically, I would also like to create a pop up question to say "Do you want to archive this record" the answer would be yes and the record would go to the archive subform (which is our archive query) I hope this makes sense. Thanks!

You can create an append query with selection criterion eq to recnumber field on the subform.
Now when the button is clicked it will run an append query then will set the amount value to 0 and refresh archive subform.
