More details please.
You could use the default value for controls in your form, you could use an update query, you could use an append query. Lots of options. Generally, you should not be entering the same information into many records. This can sometimes be accomplished with a properly designed relationship between two tables. For example, if you are entering a company name and address in every invoice record, then you have not designed your database properly. Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish. -- Rick B "JohnM" wrote in message ... How do I input the same information into many records -- JohnM Deepwater

Access data Input
I have a data base where information is constantly updating. ie A Po has
many records some are received, I need to enter the date for all items received. Some items maybe shipped, I have to put in the date shipped for all items -- JohnM Deepwater "Rick B" wrote: More details please.

It seems to me that each item on the PO could ship at a different time.
Same for receive. If that is not the case, then move those fields out of the PO detail table and put them as part of the PO summary table. Then it will only be one entry for the dates per PO, instead of one entry per line item on the PO. -- Rick B "JohnM" wrote in message ...
