    Cannot Edit Table fields in form?

    ok, i understand that having to refer to a table is not required unless the field exists in another table of the dbf? I understand the last sentence, but the BTW lines and other stuff make no sense all. As mentioned, this is the first endeavor with access. I had other people try to help but...

    more than 1 table/query on form?

    Thanks to all that have helped before, I understand a little better now. On a form I have a query that updates a table eventually. That works so far, but I need to add another table to the form. Can I do that? HOW do I do that if I can? I tried putting in a record source on the form with the...

    table questions

    Bob, thanks for the reply. The reason I am doing it this way is right now it doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work. For future reference, are you telling me that I can go into the properties of a text box like "text92", choose Properties, Control Source and put the "bind" there...

    table questions

    Thanks John, but I did not explain this very well cuz I still don't know much about Access. I am using ADO and won't use DAO regardless. This is what I want to do and the way I want to do it. If there is a better way, it can wait till I understand more. 1. Create a form with text boxes...

    One last try..

    ok, Thanks. Please read what i wrote to Gizmo as an explanation of what i really need this to do. This is not written traditionally as 1 record per item IN THIS TABLE; that comes in another table and is the easy part. True or Not?: If you have a One Record table with integer datatype...

    Need help to get past this pothole in my app. I have a 1-Record Table called SEQ (sequence number table). There are 8 fields corresponding to 8 different locations and are named as SEQBI, SEQLH, SEQPL, etc. ------------------------------- The thing about this is since there are 8 locations...

    This should not be this hard..

    Thank you, but that is not even remotely close. I am stuck with Microshaft Access cuz I don't want to spend the money for R:BASE 7.5. I could have this problem solved in the 1985 Version of R:BASE System V in 2 statements.
