Create another table with just the prices and link the relationship to
the field with prices. Then you can change the prices, but the one set
for any order will remain unchanged. Make it a combo box so you can
click a drop down to easily find the current price, if there aren't too
many or start typing and the current price will usually show up fairly
quickly. But it'll also give you the advantage of being able to enter a
new price if the current one isn't already in the table.

Well, yes, that is what I need to do, but it's not with every single
field. Maybe with an example you can see why I would want to do that...
Let's say I have a table with with orders, and I have another table with
products for sale. When entering an order, I will enter in the product
ID and through the relationships it will automatically fill in the
product description and price.
Now, in the future, I may need to change the product ID, for whatever
reason, and I would need the product ID to change in all the records its
been entered in as well. So, there, its ok for everything to change.
On the other hand, let's say the price changes. Well, in the past
orders, I need to show what the price was at the time the order was
entered, NOT what it is currently. So, if I change the price in the
PRODUCTS table, I cannot have the price change in orders that have been
entered.
So, the question is, how would I allow this in some fields, but not
others.
Thanks!

Charlie,
Are you saying that you want to change data that is linked but not
have it
changed everywhere it has already been entered? It sounds like you
may be
trying to violate referential integrity which isn't necessarily a good
idea.
If you do want to do it, you can simply uncheck the box to enforce
referential integrity on the relationships. Be very careful with
doing this
though. It will allow you to have "orphaned" records in your
database.

I have my tables and forms set up. I have my relationships between all
the
tables set up as well. Now, using a form, when I enter data in one
field, it
will automatically add the correct info in related fields. Fine, as
that's
what I want.
However, sometimes I might change data in a field from a table and I
do NOT
want it to update in existing records... how would I go about doing
this?
If I didn't explain that correctly, let me know and I'll rephrase my
request.
Thanks!
