"How user adds comments to report"-two parts
I have a swithboard from where users can choose one of many reports. After looking at a report, the user wants the capability to add comments to the report! Can't be done directly, can someone help me..
..I built a form with a textbox-how do I get a table's field on it and then sent to that certain report's textbox, the user will have to close the report after viewing it, he can click a custombuilt toolbar command button to show the form, add his comments in one textbox, ...would like to send these new comments back to that report he viewed...now updated with his comments in the reports textbox...then I want to build a second textbox on the form to hold old comments about that report he viewed...this old info coming from a table
...greatly appreciate any ideas/help...
...reply to post :)
 
I did this before. I simply set the textbox on the report form equal to the field from the data entry form [Forms]!FormName!... Seemed to work for me as I recall. htwh. Steve Medvid
