Body
<h1>Basics about the database</h1> I am working on a (relatively) simple database that stores inventory data. I am using Microsoft Access 2010 in order to do this. I have six tables with the following relationships: <a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/a4biup.png" rel="nofollow">Relationships of Database</a> I have created forms which combine the Transaction table with Ordered, Received, Allocated, or Dispensed. Each form requests an amount which will then be used to update On Hand, On Order, or Allocated (from the Material table) respectively. <h1>The Problem</h1> For example, my form to update Transaction and Order should be able to take in the Amount ordered, save all the data from the fields to the Transaction and Order tables as well as add the amount from Amount to On Order in the Materials table. <hr> I have been working on this database for the past two days. I have searched several times for possible ways to perform a similar function, but have come up with nothing. All the tutorials I have found which seem remotely close to what I need to accomplish are for versions of Access which are much older than 2010. Unfortunately I have had little experience with the actual coding within Access, so I am stuck clicking around within the buttons on its menus. <h1>What I have tried</h1> Currently, the program is set to run the following Update query: <a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/zlcb6d.png" rel="nofollow">Screenshot of update query</a> This query works if I have one Material stored in the database but adds all the Amount values from Ordered to On Order every time it is ran, which is unfortunately not what I need it to do. I only need each Amount value added to On Order once.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
