getting started

[Guest]

I am new to access. I have imported a unique table of customers and a table
of records covering multiple customers. I want to be able to look up a
customer and get all the records for that customer to list but cannot seem to
get it to work.

Tommmmm,

How do the records in the second table identify which customer they
relate to? Is there a CustomerID field or some such, by which the
second table can be related back to the Customers table? If so, you can
make a Query, which includes both tables, joined on the CustomerID field
(or whatever it's called) from each. And then you will need a Criteria
in the query in order to select the data for the specific customer you
want. One way this is often done is to have a form, with an unbound
combobox where all customers are listed. You can select a customer in
this combobox, and then you would refer to this in the query criteria,
using syntax the equivalent of this...
[Forms]![NameOfForm]![NameOfCombobox]

Hope that helps. If you need more explicit help, can you post back with
more details of your tables please?
