Hello,
I've downloaded the contact management database template from Microsoft. I'm
using Access 2003. I think it is a nice template, but I'm trying to modify it
for my own use.
The question I have concerns putting together subforms within the database.
The current template has three tabs: General, Calls, and Additional Info.
Under the "Calls" tab, it is quite obvious that the subform is matched
(through relationships) to the ContactID of the Contacts Table.
My problem is with trying to understand how the Notes field can also be a
subform, especially as it seems to be linked to the first subform, i.e, I can
see a call, the time, and the subject in the top subform. When I look at the
bottom subform, it shows the "notes" or details. There aren't any navigation
buttons at the bottom. When I select various calls, the Notes field changes.
How do I do this? How do I replicate it? I'm trying to add tabs for
"Mailing" and "Emails." How do I get the Notes field I have in both the
Mailing and Emails tables to appear like it does with the "Calls" table/form?
I know this seems confusing, but please look at the template and you'll see
what I mean.
Any help would be appreciated.
