    Using code and automation to schedule assets...

    In my opinion the union query is unavoidable in this case. Really this is two datbases being combined into one. This started as a shipment tracking database. We ship packages and we want to know when where and why. The second database is a package maintenance and package tracking...

    I want to use a navigation form to filter one form/query.

    Oh nevermind, I was making it too complicated. I realized that I just need to go into the Data Properties and point it to the correct Navigation Target, and then Point to the Navigation Where Clause
