i hope this is the correct forum for this... i'm still trying to get this to work... i've created two tables: Dates and Visits. This is a bare-bones setup to see if it works. The idea is to input info from visits to homes into the Visits table. Since many visits to homes are made on the same day, it would seem reasonable to NOT include the visit date in the Visits table, but make a separate table for it and relate it to the Visits table in a one-to-many relationship. If i can get this to work, it would also seem reasonable to remove the Neighborhood name and the Street name from the Visits table and place them in separate, individual tables as well, since they are repeated values in the Visits table (many addresses on the same street and many addresses in the same neighborhood). So, i created the following: Dates table IDDates, Primary, Integer, Autoincrement Dates, DateType Visits table IDVisits, Primary, Integer, Autoincrement Street, Text FKDate, Integer, Input not Required My questions are these: Are these sufficient fields? If so, how should i Relate them in the Relationships window so that when i input a new date in the Dates Table the corresponding Foreign Key in the Visits Table will automatically receive a new value? i've created these tables and the relationship in Tools, Relationship, and then tried to create a form but when i got to input info through the form, i can input the first date and the FKDate control appears as 0 (zero) which is correct and corresponds to the first IDDates value. Then, i can continue to input new records alright. But, when i try to input another date, the control will accept it, but when i change to the Visits area, the FKDate field doesn't increment to a new value, it remains zero. What am i not doing correctly? Or is Base not capable of this type of input? Have a great afternoon!
