Hello

I have 1 form that there are some text boxes (parameters) and a button
search and its code is like below, for finding records in tbldocuments(
[DocumentNo] is the primary key).
Now I want to add another table, that there is not any relation between this
and tbldocuments. Just some fields between tables are same and another fiels
are different. Now I need the code for searching 2 tables. And in the output
records just there are same fields from both tables. For example:

tblDocuments (table1) contains.

DocumentNo
Title
Originator
Document Type

Table 2 contains:

DocumentNo (Vendor Doc)
Title
Vendor name
Document Type

Now I like when search with (Vendor name) it searches through table2 and
output records
DocumentNo
Title
Document Type

Or when search with (DocumentNo) it goes through both tables, and find
records from each table and then add them in out put records.

Best regards.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer

I like to inform you difference between tables are not just one field, at
least 5 fields are totally difference, other fields that are the same like
DOC NO, but they have been made of concatenated of difference fields in the
each table when I am inserting records in each form. for more description,
table2 contains fields about QC documents. Like below
Proj id: 2042
Field code: COM
Discipline: MG
Doc Type: PR
Serial: 0002
Doc No: concatenated by Proj id+ Field code+ Discipline+ Doc Type+ Serial
and result should be some thing : 2042-COM-MG-PR-0002
Value of Doc No has been made by coding when inserting records in the form.

Table 1 contains fiels about engineering documents like below:
Projid: 2042
Doc TypeW
Unit: 114
Material Code: 1431
Serial: 0002
Doc No: Doc Type+ Projid+ Unit+ Material Code+ Serial and result should be
some thing like: DW-2042-114-1431-0002
Value of Doc No has been made by coding when inserting records in the form.
i am waiting for your answer, just I explained more because I liked inform
more information about the job I want to do maybe now you will have another
solution, any way if your bet is adding field in one table, I will do it.

thanks in advanced.
