Microsoft Access

I have two forms, one and two, addressing two related tables, one and two. The connecting key is IDNumber. When working in form one at (say) IDNumber 5 on table one, it wish to open form two displaying IDNumber 5 on table 2.

How can I build an expression to do this, please?

RE: Microsoft Access

Hi Philip,

This is fairly simple.

1. Add a COMMAND BUTTON to your form.

2. When the wizard appears, choose FORM OPERATIONS and then OPEN FORM
(click NEXT)

3. Choose the form you want to open from the list
(click NEXT)

4. Choose the first option OPEN THE FORM AND FIND SPECIFIC DATA TO DISPLAY
(click NEXT)

5. LINK to common fields - IDNUMBER
(click NEXT)

6. Choose if you want text or an image on the button
(click NEXT)

7. Name the Comand Button for future reference - OpenRelatedFormRecord or something appropriate.
(click FINISH)

Done.

Regards

Richard

Access tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Access 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
