I have a form where I'm entering data relating to each inbound shipment such as date of arrival, vessel name, etc...however i'd like also to enter invoice numbers and values that cover each shipment. one shipment can have more than one invoice. this means that for one shipment i need to enter , for example, 10 invoice numbers and 10 values.
I thought abt having two tables...one table having the shipment data and another table that keeps the list of invoice numbers/values of the shipments (having a foreign key relating to the shipments table).
now...i have an issue on how i'm entering the invoice numbers/values on the form..since the number of invoices might vary with each shipment...i thought abt having a continuous form...i set up one with two unbound fields...invoice number and value...but as soon as i enter data on one row, all the rows become with same value. any feedback on how should i approach this issue?
am not quite sure at what stage would the data in the continuous data be appended to the table..i'd like to have it save to table as soon as a command button in main form is clicked..
appreciate feedback....thanks!
