Hi All,
I was wondering if there is anyway of linking a combobox to a specific record.
i.e.
I want a form which views records Continuously.
Each Record on this form has several fields.
One of these is going to be an updateable coment field (much like a Call logging system).
I want the user to be able to pull down the combobox to review previous comments, and to be able to select a value in the combo box "Add New" (or click a button) which would bring up an Input box.
This string would then be used to append a new value in the Combobox.
I have never seen how a Call logging system works, nor do I know if this is the best way to do what I want to do.
At present when I place the combo box along side the other textboxes in the detail, the same value is shown, when selected, for each Record. I also asume I need a second indexed table to record multiple comments for the same record.
I don't want the users to have to use a second form to View their comments, though an Inputbox is fine to write new comments.
I realize I may be asking a bit much of Access 97, but if anyone has any ideas they'd be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
