I have a new project that is all set up with multiple related 
tables.  Granted it has some problems, and I've asked for a few 
solutions here, but now I want to transfer the real data into the new 
project.  There is already some data there, I just need to be able to 
add to it.

Now, here is my problem.  The old data has one table with all of the 
information contained within it.  The new project splits the data up 
between three related tables.

As I have practically no experience in VBA code, how do I keep track 
of the proper table to copy the fields into?  And how do I keep the 
related tables together.  I don't know how to pull out the 
appropriate ID numbers to reference in the next table.

Here how it is laid out in the new project.
        Tbl_Owner
                Tbl_BoatSpec         -- linked to Tbl_Owner with an 
                                        OwnerID field
                        Tbl_Event           --linked to Tbl_BoatSpec 
                                              with a SpecID field.


Each owner can have multiple boats so that first relationship is one-
to-many.
The second table lists all of the specifications and measurements of 
each boat, one record per boat.
Each boat can be entered in multiple Events, so that relationship is 
also one-to-many.

Which record in which table needs to be created first for the 
automatic relationships to work?

Once I figure out how to just transfer the data, I can then work on 
improving the transfer by doing a search on an existing Owner.  If 
the Owner already exists, I'll need to use that OwnerID instead
of 
creating a new Owner record.  Likewise, if the Boat also exists, all 
I need to do is create a new Event record and link it to the SpecID.

Can anyone get me started on referencing these tables?  I'll be
using 
either a linked or imported table that contains the old data.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  -- Jeanie
