I have created a form which is bound to my main table. The primary key is Procedure. The field General is related to the primary key, giving a description of Procedure. In the future, updates will need to be made to the General description of Procedure. However, when these updates are made, a reminder needs to be given to the user to update related Procedures.
Now, I can create the msgbox to notify the user to update any related fields, but I am unsure how to approach writing a code which will only prompt the user IF a certain Procedure's General description is updated.
**For instance, if Procedure 4's General description is updated, then the user will be reminded to update Procedures 4.2, 4.3, and 4.5.**
I am slowly learning VB, so any and all help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kim
 
I thought that this was extremely complicated, but after playing with Access a little bit, I discovered that it was a simple little condition in my macro that I needed to add.
