Controls with different sources
For imputing data on a single form I want to combine two
tables but the forms control source is only showing one. How does one show different control sources? Thanks! |

Sounds like you are talkiing about a bound form.
you will have to unbind the form and populate the form with code. -----Original Message----- For imputing data on a single form I want to combine two tables but the forms control source is only showing one. How does one show different control sources? Thanks! . |

A form has one record source but that record source can be a query which
links different tables together on a common field You probably need to create a query and use that as a record source wrote in message ...

Another Idea is a subform
Depending on the relationship between your two tables, you may also want to try putting a subform on your main form. You do this when your main form has on record per ID (Like a Purchase Order date, customer etc) and the subform refers to a table with several records for that same ID (line items on a Purchase Order). As you move to new records on the main form you will see or input sets of records on the sub form. The main form usually displays in form view and the subform in datasheet view (but ohter options are possible) There is a subform button on the form design toolbar and the wizard will guide you through selecting the subform record source (table) and the links required (parent-child) wrote in message ...
