Looking up a related record in a related form
I have a “Clients” table with about 1000 records. Each record has an
autonumber ID which is also the primary key. I have built a simple “Clients” form on the table for normal viewing and updating. Call this form “Form A” I have a second “Transactions” table which records specific transactions with the clients in the first table. Each transaction has an autonumber ID/Primary key. In addition it has a lookup field which looks up the ID of the Client from the “Client” Table, and creates a relationship with the Client Table. I have a Query which includes both of the above related tables, showing required information from the “Client” Side and from the “Transaction side”. On top of this query I have built a second form, which allows me to view/update individual client and transaction details. Call this form “Form B. When I look at Client records in Form A, I can see if there are associated records in the Transaction table, through a small subform. I need to be able to click a button on form A which will open Form B, and take me to the related transaction record on Form B. Using the form wizard I can easily open Form B, but I have not been able to automatically go to the correct linked record in form B. I expect I need to write a piece of VBA code for the “On Click” event on the button on form A, but I haven’t managed to write the correct code. Can anybody out there advise me: (1) Is VBA code attached to the “On-Click” event on the button on form A the correct approach??........IF not, what is the correct approach?? (2) Can you help me with the code please ?? My thanks in anticipation Jim Dublin 03 November 2004 |
