Hi, pease bear with me, I don't do this often, but I'm trying...
I have a db to track home system inspections. There are about 100 things
that have to be checked on the InitialInspection form, and then routinely
afterward about 75 things that are checked on UpdateInspections.
I havea main form, frmCustomers, with a subform sfrmDatesAndServices. On
this subform I have a ServiceNumber (primary key), dates, service done, etc.
If this is the Initial inspection, I want to be able to have the
ServiceNumber link to my InitialInspection form (I have a button that opens
the form). If it is a subsequent inspection, I want the number to show up
when the user click the button for that form. Is this possible? If it is a
new house, the user will click the form and enter data for the initial
inspection, but might later want to go back and just view it (not create a
second 'initial inspection'). As time goes by, the user will add records and
that ServiceNumber will need to open a new form, but they may want to go back
and view the old one already in the system too.
I thought this was an easy setup, but when one thing stuck, it screwed up
some others, so I thought I'd ask for heeeeeelllllp Thanks in advance.
