I'm completely new to creating MS Access databases, so please bear with me while I ask my (probably silly) question.
I have a table for commodities that also groups them into CropGroup and Class, and every commodity would also be considered 'Any food'.
I would like to add one entry (maybe in a form?), with fields like 'Country' 'Commodity' 'Metal' 'Limit' with all fields identical other than the commodity. Rather than entering these manually for each commodity, is there a way that I can specify the country, metal and limit, select 'Fruit' or 'Anyfood' to automatically create a record for each commodity associated with these terms, so it looks similar to this? Doing this would save me hours if not days of work in the long term.
Any suggestions or pointers in the right directions would be much appreciated!
Cheers, Sophie
