I have limited experience of progamming, and have been trying to figure out
how I can use VB to really increase the access benefits. I have 2 main
questions that I think can be answered w/ programming.
1)I have a list of products in a table, some of which contain sub assemblies
(and thus sub data sheets), and some which don't (and thus contain empty
sub-data sheets). How can I eliminate the EMPTY sub-data sheets, or at least
the plus sign indicting the sub data sheets next to the products which do NOT
have any sub assemblies? In other words, I want to eliminate the false
notion created by the plus sign that there is a sub assembly to a certain
product when in fact there is not.
2)The products table contains a boolean field that the user checks when
constructing a customer order. For products with sub assemblies, which are
required components of the product, how do I ensure that when a product is
checked, all sub-assemblies are checked as well? Basically, I need a macro,
etc- that will go through and automatically "select" sub-assembly components
of all selected products. This is a long way of saying, how do I set the
option field of all sub data sheets to true.
3) There are 4 products- A, B, C, and D. Both A and B require product D.
When a user is selecting products from a table (using a boolean field), how
can I automatically select D when A or B has been selected? Basically, how I
want to construct a series of If Then statements, saying If A then D, but I
really don't know how/where/what command/etc- to do this.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If you have any suggestions, it
would be really helpful to know exactly where any coding goes, and exactly
how to "call" certain fields etc. I have been really frusterated by these
details for the last week. thanks!
