Need Help with Form Design
Hi all,
Look I admit it, I don't no where to start with creating a Form. What I want is to have a database that i can enter a form and type the name of a computer in my network and the following information pops up in the form - Hardware information - Motherboard, RAM, CPU - Software information - OS, Applications, Utilities - Location information - Location, User I currently have setup one table containing all of these and these are the heading in the table. Computer, Motherboard, BIOS, RAM, Harddrive, Case, Video Card, SOund Card, Network Card, Floppy Drive, CDROM, Speaker, Monitor, Other Hardware, Serial Number, Operating System, Office Suit, Internet Browser, Graphics Tool, Zip Tool, Acrobat Reader, Macromedia, Other Applications, User, Location As you can see I don't know what i am doing, but basically I want all this information to be viewable if i enter a form and type the name of the computer in a text box and hit enter all of this info should pop up. Then i can print the page off and thats all i need it for, that and a form for adding the above info into a table from the form. Isn't there a simple way to do this? Please help, thanks in advance Confused |

The form design is trivial, it can be designed by using a form wizard.
The hard part is to get all the info you want. You would need to use some Windows API functions. I am not even sure you can get all this info for remote computers on a network. Ragnar |

Need Help with Form Design
In that case you are practically home free, just create a form with either
the Form Wizard or use Autoform and choose the layout, in either case you just select the table you want to base the form on and Access will create the form for you. The Form Wizard lets you choose a layout, but it also lets you select the table fields you want to appear on the form, in case you don't want to show all of them. For example, if you have a key index field in the table that just contains a unique number you probably don't want that on the form. If you are not happy with the form you can easily modify it by dragging the controls around, or you can scrap it and try again with a different layout. With 30 fiields you might be best off with the columnar layout. Ragnar |
