Default Appending data from one table to multiple relational tables

Looking at my relationships again, I have the Employee table setup as the
parent table. All of the others are child tables. I think that is what
I have done. I'm still learning this database stuff.

I have one to many relationships from the other tables back to the
employee table. Since an employee can be assigned more than one
computer.

The current inventory table contains all of the fields along with an
employee field. The autonumber field is the primary key. Nothing else
unique with the current table.

I did run the seperate append queries and loaded the computer info into
the computer table, printers into the printer table and employee names
into the employee table. The employee table would be the one to many
table.

So, I would now need to reassociate the employees with the new tables.

I tried to use an append query in access to append the data into all
tables at one time but it won't let me do that.

I've attached wordpad document with two print screens. Hopefully this
will help explain better.

How is an employee related to a hardware now? What you need to do is
to load the data into the parent tables (the "one" tables), and then
use those tables along with the original table (joining from the
original table to the new tables on a field that uniquely identifies
the data in the parent tables) in order to append data into the child
tables (the "many" tables). You'll need to give us more information
about your exact setup and data for someone to give you more specific
info.
