User input into a query

[Jon R. Johansen]

Hi!

I'm working on a school project due tonight and I need help!

I'm making a database for booking rooms at a school. I need to show all time slots (1 hour interval) with existing bookings and possibility for booking free slots.

I want to create a form with a subform. In the main form I want to make a drop down menu where the user can choose from avaliable rooms. When he chooses a room I want that choice to be used in a query to look up the calendar for that room only and display the calendar in the subform.

My question is: How do I link the information on the form to the criteria of the query?

The access help text gives a detailed description on how to create the from, but only states that I should then "write the appropriate code to use the information in a query".

Any help is highly appreciated!

Since it's for homework... deposit 1M rubles into the trashcan on the corner.

Linking criteria from a form to a query can be accomplished using a Parameter.

e.g. WHERE SomeID = Forms!frmName!txtSomeID
