What kind of table you are making. And how you are relating them with each other.

Sounds like a JOIN with a same primary key or foreign key in both tables

Wouldn't you need to search the second table for the value, if it exists, then save it to the first table?

Eg query:

SELECT * FROM TableValues WHERE FieldName = 'FindThisValue'

So...

Data1.RecordSource = strQRY

If Data1.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 Then

'// Doesn't exist so don't save it

Else

'// It exists in the values table, so we can now save it

End If
