One of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date—same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis
Detroit
Memphis
Tampa
Example with data
Form
4/20/2015
---------------------------------------
Subform
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis_____$100000 (manually entered)_______95% (manually entered)
Detroit_________$120000 (manually entered)_______98% (manually entered)
Memphis_______$130000 (manually entered)_______99% (manually entered)
Resulting in table records:
Date----------Plant---------Sales--------------On Time Delivery
4/20/2015____Indianapolis_____$100000_______95%
4/20/2015____ Detroit________$120000_______98%
4/20/2015____ Memphis_______$130000_______99%
Any help would be appreciated as I usually would just create a sub-form with drop-downs for the plant names, but I've never started witha pre-defined list of records.
Thank You,
