Peter >How do i go about saving data to multiple tables from >one entry form or should this happen automatically If the model is that a user can have radios which in turn can have events, you need a userid column in users and radios, and a radioid column in radios and events. You need to read a bit about relational design (eg http://www.artfulsoftware.com/mysqlbook/sampler/mysqled1ch01.html). To add a user, a radio and an event, save the user info, get the user id from that insert, save the radio info, get back the radioid from that insert, then save the event info. To add a radio, retrieve the userid from the user's input and offer the user a blank radio form. And so on.
