Hi,
Context:
I have a subform (datasheet view) that I want to prevent from updating
source table records until the user has completed filling out all of
the relevant records within the subform and clicks a button (e.g., Save
and Close). I've done some searching in this group and have found that
this requires some extensive coding (e.g., populate combox boxes, store
temporary records, append tables with temporary records, etc...).
However, these posts are all for Access 97, and I am wondering if there
is an "easier", less code intensive way to accomplish the same
objective?
Details:
User interfaces through a form (frmInvoiceMaster) and an embedded
subform (sbfInvoiceDetails). The form populates a table
(tblInvoiceMaster) which contains such fields Invoice_Date,
Vendor_Name, Invoice_Amount, etc... The subform populates another table
(tblInvoiceDetails) which contains fields like Item_Description,
Quantity_Purchased, Dollar_Amount, etc... The subform contains several
records (i.e., typically 10 or more) which are all associated with the
same invoice (tblInvoiceMaster).
Question restated:
Is there an easy way to prevent Access from continuously updating
tables until the user completes filling out all the records in an
embedded subform. I define "easy" as a minimal amount of coding /
recoding.
Thanks for your help
