Thank you, so simple when you know how

Hi there Is there a way you can choose what report to run without filling the screen with buttons I have over 50 reports to chose from but do not want a button for all of them. Can this be done with a text box and 1 button? If so, how? Thank you Edd

Ok where do I start I have created the database in access 2016. How do I go about transferring the to a SQL server. Can someone point me in the direction of an idiots guide. Everywhere I look says its in database tools but all I see is sharepoint and split database

CHEERS for that

Ok guys struggling here. I can now open a form from a record woo hoo. but the problem is it only opens one form. What I have I 4 different forms form 1 From 2 Form 3 Form 4 Each form has a hidden field with its name in so that when the database is populated It knows what form the record was...

there is a field that is auto populated with the form name

Hi there I have created a database that is populated from 4 different forms. The database knows which form created what record from a field auto created. I have put a search together in a split form to locate records, now how can I open the record to the correct form it was filled in on...

Cheers guys, now need to know how to create a search box now that can search across all records in the table and display them. this need to also search all fields.

a single form would be ideal but there is different criteria on how a form needs to be presented to different people so the layout needs to change but all of the forms need to be in the same database and if a form is used to fill in the data it needs to follow on from the auto number in the...
