I have foreign keys set up from the unique ID key in main database to the foreign keys in each of the separate competitive team tables. The problem is that the ID never transfers when I create a new record in the main database.

And I sincerely appreciate the help, even though I might sound retarded.

you're going to have to write a query that does this...nothing is going to just transfer over. You essentially need like a stored procedure that updates everything on a submit button or something (if I'm reading it correctly)

Well, the last time I touched Access was about a decade ago, so I can't be of much help there. All I can say is that it sounds like you either need to verify that an actual relationship is set up between the tables (as opposed to just having a field where the foreign key goes), or you need to check the form you have made (that's how Access works, right? You create forms within the program? )

No problem. And don't feel bad, I probably sound retarded to a real database guy.
