Existing Forms Saved with the "Save As" Feature

[greeneyerat]

Hi,

If I create one form with the various fields that I need, and I need to create other forms with the same fields (from the same tables)and I would like to save the existing form with another name, will the entries made on one form be viewable on the other form?

I like the format on the one form, and I would like to use the "save as" feature but want to know if it will work?

Any suggestions,
JCM

Why not try it ? It should save as is.

Hello John,

I briefly created 4 forms, using fields from one table, and used the "save as" feature, and when I filled out one form all the data entered appears on the other forms that have the same specific fields that I am using.

I don't want this to happen. Yes, the forms are very similar to one another, but I need them to remain as individual forms, and want the data that I enter on any form to remain SOLEY on that ONE form. Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks

The data entered are saved in the RecordSource of the form, ie a table.

Hope This Helps, PH.
