Here is the business scenario:
We know that every employee at every office will get a MonitorA. So
instead of navigating to each employee record in the database and then
entering a "MonitorA" record as one of their order items, I want the
data entry person to filter the Employee table (via form/query) and
then click a button that will copy and append the EmployeeIDs from the
filtered recordset to the Orders table as new records. (Subsequent
update queries will update those new records to include "MonitorA" in
the Item field and a value of "1" in the Quantity field.)
Will a simple query do the trick - one that includes the filtered
recordset as the query criteria? (sounds awkward).
Or will it take some code, with a loop? What would this solution look
like?
Any advice is appreciated.
