Here's what I'd like to do.

Date: 5/23/2016
Part#: Test
Readings:
5.5
5.6
5.6
5.4
5.7
5.7

The number of readings can vary.

Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks

read your question again, and give the answer, if it will be clear to you if you don't see other data.

You need a form with a subform. Create a query that returns the date and part number or just use the table if appropriate. Create a form based on that source and put controls on it for those two fields. Create a form for the other part in the same fashion, having the part number and results fields. Add a subform control to the first (main) form and when prompted, set the second form to be its source. Link the two together via the part number if it is the one that is unique. If it is not, you need to incorporate a unique identity, such as the record id from your table(s). You can drive the record display in the subform by using a combo box on the main form to select a part numer (or whatever is appropriate), which means the subform records would be linked to the combo value.
