Comment: I'm trying a small database program using MS Access 2003.
I have a number of tables ( 5 in number ) as one side related to a single table as a many side. This means the many side table has 5 foreign keys added to its fields. I created a form for data entry from the many side table. Access is asking me to fill the foreign keys first if I'm going to proceed to the next record.
How could I handle these foreign keys - any one any idea, please!

Reply: (edit)Use the subform option (use the tab option to show all of the tables in the minimum space - 1 subform on each tab). main form will be the main table, subforms the 5 tables. when you create the subform it will ask for a link between main and sub, use the foreign key of each table.
