I have a Table that will record chemical (antibody) use in fields as follows:
Antibody_Name
Lot_Number
Order_Date
Received_Date
Open_Date
Exhaust_Date
There are several chemicals, each from a specific manufacturer. So I have another Table as follows:
Antibody_Name
Manufacturer
I want a form that will allow me to choose the antibody from a list created using the manufacturer table (a combo box). Once the antibody is selected, I want to call up a continuous form that will display the antibody name and manufacturer in the header and allow me to enter the lot number and dates in the continuous form.
I'm having a couple problems.....
1.) when I join the two tables linking the Antibody_Name field, I lose my ability to add records to the query and the form.
2.) the value in my combo box used to select the chemical name is not being passed to my query - when it runs, no records are selected and the resulting form is blank.
I think I'm missing something in the design but I'm not sure what it is....
The query SQL is below ....
SELECT Antibody_Filter.Antibody_Name, Antibody_Filter.Lot_Number, Antibody_Filter.Order_Date, Antibody_Filter.Received_Date, Antibody_Filter.Open_Date, Antibody_Filter.Exhaust_Date, Antibody_Filter.Manufacturer
FROM Antibody_Filter
WHERE (((Antibody_Filter.Antibody_Name)=Forms![Antibody_Pop-up]!Antibody_Select));
Thanks for any help you can provide.
