Hi,
I have a bound form, linked to a query. What I'd like to achieve is for the
user to be able to flag certain records for processing later. Specifically,
given a continuous form with a few dozen records, I'd like the user to be
able to select which records he wants to print.
However I'm not completely sure how to achieve this. I've tried including an
unbound tickbox control in the detail which appears with each record as
expected. How ever, changing the value of the tickbox changes all the
tickboxes for every record...
I'm guessing that this is a limitation of continuous forms and that there's
not much I can do about it. However I would really like to be able to
display a list of bound data and have the option to flag records for later
use. I'm just a bit clueless as to how to achieve it...
One idea I had was to create a disconnected ADO recordset in memory and add
record IDs as they're selected (or remove as they're deselected) and then
from there print the relevant reports when required. However I'm still a bit
lost as to how enable to the user to simply select records and track that
selection.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Any and all advice is gratefully received.
Kind thanks
Chris.
