I have a database of 2000+ clients with several forms to
update that database -- the dates I work for clients each
month; receipts information in payment for the work I do;
etc. The original database was created in Symantec's Q&A
database program. Because Q&A is no longer supported in
a Windows format I have now transferred the database to
Access. In the old Q&A program I could select a record
in datasheet view and open it into any of the forms
attached to that database. Once opened in that form, I
could then select any of the other forms and the record
would be seen in those forms also. How can I accomplish
the same thing in Access. I don't know how to open the
datasheet of the main database into a form, and it
appears that each form has its own datasheet view with no
linkage between that view and the datasheet views of
other forms. Any help would be appreciated.
