Hi,
I have a multi-user database (access 2000 with most users using XP).
Data is entered into a main table with an autonumber reference. There are then 3 nested sub tables that use this reference as part of the Key.
I currently have an SQL duplicate function in place on the main table's related form but this is tempermental and I have also been asked to allow the copying of the child records in the other tables.
I am therefore trying to use DAO.Recordset .addnew method to do this .
I have the solution, and from other posts know how to identify the new number to apply to the other tables.
However.
when I use .addnew the Autonumber feild is not generating a new and unique value and so on .update I am getting a Duplicate value error.
Anyone have any ideas on why and how to work around this.]
any Help is greatly appriciated.
