form creation

[Guest]

Is there a way of creating a form which diplays
information from differnet tables in one form

Sure...you can use a query that links the tables together
as the form's record source.

Yes, base the report on a query and include multiple tables in the query. I
would expect that almost every form you build would be built in this way if
you have truly structured your tabels as a standard relational database.

That should have said ... base the FORM on a query...

yes thats correct, however when I do that I change my
record source and then all other fields that I need to use
become Inoperable. I guess I need so sort of way to
include both sets of information is that possible?
P.S.
thank you for the reply.

 

[Guest]

Yes you are correct but I need this for for data entry and
a select query will not let me input new information. Is
there something that I'm missing?
Thank-you for your reply

This is what sub forms are for.
I will assume that there is a common field in the two tables.
Just create a form (subform) for the information from the
second table and then drag and drop the new form into the
original form.

Take a look at the properties of the sub form and be sure
that the link fields are correct.

That should do it.
