Can I append to existing data in fields in Access like HanDBase?

IE7 vs. Cox Security Software

I use HanDBase to take notes and extensively use the "Popups Append" feature.
I can select from my pre-defined list of entries and add multiple entries to
the same field without overwriting the existing data. Each entry for the
particular field is simply tacked on to the end. Is there any sort of option
in Access for this same function?
 
I am not familiar with HanDBase, so I don't know how it works, but i MS
Access you append *records* to *tables*, usually through a form. A record in
a table consists of one or more *fields*, but you cannot add multiple entries
to the same field. Having said that, an MS Access form which has its
DataEntry property set to Yes can be used do what you describe.

hope this helps

John
