I have two connected tables, I filled the first one (with primary key) with data as usual by adding textboxes to a form and so on.. .I have no problem with it, but the problem is with the second one –the child- (of Foreign key) which is connected to gridview.How can I fill the foreign key field’s column in the data grid, in other words , how can I transfer the primary key value from the 1rst table in the form1 to the foreign key field's column of gridview in the 2nd form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

For this you'll have to insert values in both tables

do this

1: insert values in table containing Primary Key
2: Retrieve data that you just inserted(by select query for eg select * from table name where anyfieldonform = 'value')

3: insert the required data into the table containing foreign key
