Hello Access World Forums!
Thanks for hosting me, I've just signed up as this site has helped me out before
I need to pick your expert brains, and I apologise in advance if I've cross-posted, but my issues seems to be quite personalised so I assumed a new thread would be ok.
My basic issue is that I am trying to develop a form that has several combo boxes. These are: 'Barcode', 'Study', 'PI' and 'Status'. I want to select a code from, for example, 'Barcode', press a button called 'GO' (original, I know...) and be sent to another form that will then contain all the information associated with that code and that code only.
However, I am having issues setting this up. I understand forms, tables, and queries, but I am at a loss of how to build these together. I feel there is something in the background I am unaware of, and although populating a form from another seems to be a common problem, many forum posts I've read resolve somebody's issue, but mine never is I've scanned through many other posts on various forums and I've done everything it says but it still won't work :-(
So, my huge plea to you all is could somebody please walk me through ALL steps in great detail so I can achieve this, please? I have some understanding of VBA but I am an extremely fast learner, I just feel that I need an all-round lesson on this. By teaching me from the ground up, I feel I'll have a much better understanding than just filling small holes in my knowledge.
I cannot even begin to explain my depth of my gratitude for you all doing this for me!!!!! I will be eternally grateful!
Thanks in advance! N
