How do you write fields in a subform to a secondary table? I can write the information to the table bound to my form, but not a secondary table. Does anyone have experience with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
There's a lot more to this than meets the eye! It rather depends upon the relationship between the bound table, and the secondary table. Explain a bit more, and I'm sure that a solution will be pretty straightforward.
Think about the data that your representing in the tables, and decide what the relationship is between them. Would a relationship (Primary key/foreign key) be better that writing to two places and demormalising the data? Is the data in the secondary table derived (calculated) from the first table? Go into it in a bit more details.
 
SequenceIT,

Thanks for the help! I think I found the solution to my problem.
