That's entirely up to you, however, I believe you are attempting to populate a key field of another table here, and you wish to have only one record as in your parent table. (Have you considered putting those fields in the parent table?) My understanding you have a one to one relationship with tables B, C, D or if they're one to many you are trying to prevent a EOF encounter?? Can you explain further your goal and relations?
