How to Update My Database or Merge 2 Forms
Richard Sanchez 
     
19 months ago
I currently am working on my database on my computer. I've added it to a shared drive so that my wife can start entering company names. I created a CompanyListF with just the Company ID, Company Name, Owner Name and active. I have created changes in the  database on my computer and have her working on the network. How do I merge the two forms? Also important to note I'm on Expert 20 so even if you can direct me on where to go for that specific training, that would be helpful.

What do you mean merge two forms? Do you mean share the data that you are both entering? If so, you need to split it.

@Richard, if you mean merge the two tables, and you're using two different databases, not the same .accdb file, then a copy and Home > Paste > Paste Append should work.

@ Richard I'm just curious, if the company is a LLC, C or S corp, with multiple owners, how are you handling that?
If you want a tip how to properly do it, check out the Fred Flintstone Demo (10:26), in YouTube playlist 1000 at

In your case you would build an Entity record for each business and each owner. Then you would create a many-to-many relationship for each business <> owner. You could create a many-to-many form. In this case, I think it's easier to create a relationship for each business in the Entity form record for that business. You could do that with a sub form (as Richard does with contacts in his template) or a "related" form like I show in the video.
