How To Handle Split Transactions and Multiple Categories in Microsoft Access Check Registers

In this episode, we talk about how to handle split transactions in Microsoft Access when a single transaction needs to be assigned to multiple categories. We discuss why using a single category field is limiting, explain the use of a split table to resolve these issues, and cover how to set up the one-to-many relationship between the transaction and split tables. We also look at form design considerations for managing and editing split transactions and why this approach makes databases more flexible and scalable.
