We have a very simple database showing the menu for a given date....both the sandwich and the hot plate (full meal) being served. Only 4 fields are involved:
ID (Autonumber)
MDate (Date field)
Sandwich
HotPlate
The Sandwich entries will have to be entered manually because they change depending on what kitchen staff feel like making, I guess.
The Hot Plate, though, is on a 2 week rotation and will very rarely change. Is there a simple way to copy forward that 2 weeks of meal information? Currently we enter everything, including the date, manually. So I guess in order to do that we'd have to have the date fields fill in automatically?
In a perfect world, I'd like to click a button and have it enter the next 28 days (or 30, or whatever) worth of records.....the ID, the Mdate, and the HotPlate. And then someone would have to come along and manually enter in the Sandwich at a later time.
Any chance of this?
