append child records

P

pcurran

I have an excel file where each row contains contact info about a paren
(name, address,e tc) and info about 1 child (name, dob, etc). Othe
children for that parent are listed in subsequent rows with the sam
parent name and address="second child".

My access database has tblContact for parent info (primary key
autonumber) and is linked to tblChild for each child's info (1 t
many).

I have imported the excel file to a table from which I successfully ru
an append query to store all the parent info in tblContact but I don'
know how to even begin to add the child records for the appropriat
parent.

Any ideas on how to begin or an example to follow? Thanks
