Hello
I'm working on my first data base and I've run into a bit of a snag. I have
a few tables but i'm only really concentrating on 2 for this example. My one
table is called Job information which lists: a contract number(primary key),
a description of the job, and all the finacials for that particular contract.
The other table i'm working with is the contact information table which list
: the contractors ID ( primary key), the contractors name, address, phone,
etc. I've already set up a field in the job information table that allows me
to use a combo box pick the appropriate contractor for the job by
automatically importing the contractor name from the contact table to the
combo box on the job information table..
What i want to be able to do is link the contractor data from the contact
information table to its appropriate data job information table. This way
when I click on the contractor, in the job information table, it will show me
all of their contact information. Also i would like to, while working on the
contacts page, click on a contact and have it list every job we have done for
them. This will come in handy if my boss know who the contractor was but cant
remember the job name offhand or vise versa.
This is the best way ( so far) i can think of to get this information to
him. If there is a better, more efficient way, I'm all ears. I'm kinda
learning access as I go along and it can be frustrating sometimes to find the
best way to do things. Thanks!
