Hi. I was just wanting some explanation as to what is going on once you have split your tables out into a back end file, and set an mde out for use.

I'm working on an MS Access Database with tons of duplicate entries. The problem is that there is a table of students, and sometimes instead of just updating a certain student's information, someone would just add the student in again with a different ID.

I have a form with two subforms (on separate tab pages). It's an MDB project in Access 2003. When it initially opens, Form_Current on the active subform fires once, as it should.
