How to mark a record when updated

[erick-flores]

I dont know if this can be done in Access 2003 or not. This is the
situation:
I have 2 forms. Form A and Form B.
Form B (link child) is a subform of Form A (link master).

The Form A is in Datasheet view. Form B is in Single form.

So basically what I do is click on the + sign...expand to Form B and
enter my information there. Then minimize that record by clicking back
on the - sign...and so on.

There are around 2000 records on Form A.
What I want is be able to see what records have information under Form
B w/o clicking on the + sign. It will be easier for me since there are
a lot of records and I have to look one at a time to see which ones
have information under Form B and which dont.

I was thinking on maybe a check box on Form A that will check when
there is information on Form B. But I dont know how to do this...and
if there are any other ways to do this. Any ideas?


Thank you in advance

Perhaps change the color on the font or backgrond of the record (on
Form A) when its information under the Form B.

It sounds like you could just filter the record set for your main form to
display only those records where the related record(s) in the subform are
blank. You would have to determine which fields to check. You could change
the filtering of the form through the use a checkbox or some other control so
that you could switch from fileted to not filtered very easily.
