August 15, 20178 yr I have a product catalog solution [Database A] that consists of a "master" record and several related records through a parent-child relationship. A separate solution [Database B] tracks shipping/receiving of these products. I would like to create daily records in this separate solution (B), and copy information via a related field with the catalog (A). **Easily done via lookup or auto entry calculation.** In addition, I would like "replicate" the related records, via the parent-child relationship, so that the shipping/receiving solution has the same related records as the product catalog solution. In other words: MasterRecord1 --> ChildRecord1 --> ChildRecord2 --> ChildRecord3 ------------------------------------------------------ Shipping/ReceivingRecord1 (Related to MasterRecord1) Create/copy information to result with -->ChildRecord1a -->ChildRecord1b -->ChildRecord1c
August 15, 20178 yr Most people would not recommend duplicating the records. why do you need them in both databases, 2 tables? Why not just put a portal and if needed a relationship to show the related records in the other table? Another question is why the 2 databases? Just curious.
August 16, 20178 yr Hi Bill, Are you trying to make a report from a portal? If so, you should make your reports in the Table where the original Data Resides.
