I think I want to use the Set Field script step. Here is what I want to do. It's really very simple.
I've got table [Join], which has the following fields:
[WellId]
[OwnerId]
[InterestId]
[InterestType]
[ProductionMonth]
[Year]
In a related table, [Owners], are the following fields:
[GasPrice]
[TaxRate]
In another related table, [Wells], is field [McfId]
My layout, "Data Entry," is based on table [Join]. I have value lists to populate all of the fields, and that works great, but I need to automate... (rhyme not intentional smiley-laughing)
Here is what I want to do with layout "Data Entry" :
0. Click a button to create a new record in table [Join]
1. Click the [WellId] field. A drop down list appears.
2. Choose a value.
3. Based on the values of the last [Join] table record where the value of [WellId] was the same as that selected in #2, the following fields are populated:
[Join].[WellId]
[Join].[OwnerId]
[Join].[InterestId]
[Join].[InterestType]
[Join].[Year]
[Owners].[GasPrice]
[Owners].[TaxRate]
4. Enter a value for [Join].[ProductionMonth]
-----------------------------
The two other tables, [Wells] and [Owners], both have one to many relationships with table [Join], where [Join] is on the one side, and records can be added both ways for all three tables.
Here is what I'm worried about: I don't want to create new records in tables [Wells] and [Owners] when I touch fields [Owners].[GasPrice], [Owners].[TaxRate], and [Wells].[McfId]. I want to create new records in table [Join], but not in tables [Owners] and [Wells]. I just want to set values in existing records in the realted tables, not create new records.
Please let me clarify if necessary. My database is at " In the referenced version, not all of the fields work on layout "Data Entry," but my explanation provides what I want it to do. I just had to get something out, so I could get help on it. I'll make all of the fields work on layout "Data Entry" if you have to have that. I just didn't go back and make all of the fields work, because I want them all to be automated in the end anyway.
THANKS! ! ! ! !
