ACCESS FEED: RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Me.dirty not saving changes after initial save

Pat-

I would use a form on tblReconPrimary and subforms for the related tables below
to avoid the outer join mess.

I'm not up late - it's just past 10a here!

Hi John,

I can't seem to sleep tonight so I just as well ask a question. I like to keep
things more separated in single elements (to each his own). And in this case I
might consider using about 3 or 4 different Update or Append queries in code in
such sequence so that referential integrity is maintained to save the entered
values.

Something like strSQL = "INSERT INTO firstTable ..."
db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

... a few times with appropriate error trapping of course.

What woudld be the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach?

Please do not stay up late working on this since I may finally get to sleep
soon.

Kind Regards,
Pat
