I have created the database in access, to enter daily inspection data, some time for one item we have to add multiple type rework entry and for that every time we have to select product name every time, and its time consuming
what I am trying to find that add multi-row in my form which will store different types to data in separate rows in the main table and product name will take automatically for all rows data

I am trying to build an access database that stores monthly billing data for a number of customers of a business.
Table 1 contains all the customer information including their 'current fee' which can change over time.
Each time a new record is created in Table 2 using a reference field from Table 1, I would like one field in Table 2 to be populated with the relevant 'current fee' - without overwriting any of the fee data in the other, previously created, records.
Is there a straightforward way to do this, or another way to solve the challenge?
I am working on a database that has one main table with the entry rows having an individual table for calculations.
So I have about 9 tables that have calculations /values in that are associated with an individual indicator field entry in my main table. I would like to link the calculation tables to the individual entry.
The subdatasheet allows me to do this. However, it populates all the entries with the same table which I do not want as one calculation table is only associated to one entry.
I can’t create one table for all calculations as they have different types of data and are calculated differently so I can’t link with regards to relationships.
The only solution I can think of is by populating a new field called “results calculations” and populate it with the title of the calculation table associated to the individual entry.
Is there another way I would love all the data to be as accessible in one table as simplified as possible.
(I am new to MS Access so any advice will be appreciated.)

What I need to link to each indicator
I'm currently working on an Access model where I have 2 tables. One table would display chip IDs and the different processes it goes through, where the different process fields are yes/no checkboxes, and the other table shows the process IDs (where they are the same as the process fields of the other table) and the time taken for each process. I need to link the checked process fields for a particular chip ID to the time taken. Is there a way to link the fields to a record of the same name?
I am looking for some design techniques to achieve the following:
A 3-part serial number that is generated upon record entry. Format Example: 25-001-14
The number is used to track yearly records from various locations.
The first part states the location the record is associated with, this would be a user input during record creation.
The second part is the record number, I would like for this to be automatically generated, but needs to be sequential and separate for each location and needs to reset each year.
The third part is the two digit number for the year the record was created in. I would like this to be automatically generated if possible. Note: I am currently not concerned with when this cycles back around and I face redundant data issues.
I'm thinking I would like records to be stored in multiple tables that are separated by location, if this would help things!
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
I think I would use 3 key fields - one field each for location, record and year. The location and year fields would be created when you get the input to create new records. I would set up a query to find the last record number used by location and year and use that query to assign the new record number when you create a new record. The concatenation of the 3 fields would be the key you described.
With a key field for location, separate tables are not necessary unless that's useful for other reasons. I would probably use just one table - you can always filter the records by location anytime you need to.
Basics about the database
I am working on a (relatively) simple database that stores inventory data. I am using Microsoft Access 2010 in order to do this. I have six tables with the following relationships:
Relationships of Database
I have created forms which combine the Transaction table with Ordered, Received, Allocated, or Dispensed. Each form requests an amount which will then be used to update On Hand, On Order, or Allocated (from the Material table) respectively.
The Problem
For example, my form to update Transaction and Order should be able to take in the Amount ordered, save all the data from the fields to the Transaction and Order tables as well as add the amount from Amount to On Order in the Materials table.
I have been working on this database for the past two days. I have searched several times for possible ways to perform a similar function, but have come up with nothing. All the tutorials I have found which seem remotely close to what I need to accomplish are for versions of Access which are much older than 2010. Unfortunately I have had little experience with the actual coding within Access, so I am stuck clicking around within the buttons on its menus.
What I have tried
Currently, the program is set to run the following Update query:

This query works if I have one Material stored in the database but adds all the Amount values from Ordered to On Order every time it is ran, which is unfortunately not what I need it to do. I only need each Amount value added to On Order once.
You need to relate the Ordered and Material tables by adding a foreign key field to the Material table, ex. OrderedFK (Long Integer). This new field must be updated whenever a row is inserted into the Ordered table (assuming the "No" Field is AutoNumber). This is typically performed by using a Form (Ordered) and Sub-Form (Material) and setting the sub-form' Link Master (No) and Link Child fields (OrderedFK).
You can then join the Ordered and Material tables on the Update Query to achieve the desired result.
