I have a mainmenu/switchboard form where I select a customer record via command button. the record then displays inside a subform on the same switchboard.
Now I want to create command buttons to display purchases, payments, appointments, etc keyed to
the same account number.
I need to set a value that can be read from every other form which will be changed when I return to the switchboard and select a different customer.
In dbase or Cold fusion I would create a public variable and store the customer number. (custno=1) then every form could use a sql query to lookup payments where key = custno
What is the best way to accomplish this? Set a filter globally? Create a memory variable that I can change with a command button? The simplest process I can think of is to pass the customer number with the command button click?
How do you pass information selected from within a form, to another form. I can't have 15 subforms displayed on one switchboard?
This is my first application with ms access.
