I have a master/detail set of pages for a small application that lets instructors manage the textbook adoptions for their courses. They first enter general adoption list info (course name, sections). Then proceed to enter a book list for that adoption record.

Master page is a list from table adoptions. Primary key is adoptionID.

Detail page is a list from table adoptionBooks. Primary key is adoptionBookID. Foreign key is adoptionID.

It works to edit data. However, if I am on the detail page and go to add a new book record, it only works if I make the foreign key field a text box and users type it in. If I make it a label, the insert fails (I am guessing because the field is not being sent in, or is being sent in blank).

How can I set it up so once you are on the detail page, and you add a new book record, it carries into the insert the adoptionID (foreign key)?

Put the foreign key on the detail form as a hidden record.
In the before insert event, populate it for them.
