Hello everyone,
Just a quick question to see if something is actually doable.
I plan to create a table called Citations with four fields: "ID" --> autonumber primary key, "Citation" --> This will be a drop-down list drawing records from the Table Bibliography, "Citation_Content" --> This will be populated with plain text, and "Notes" --> long text for notes.
I also plan to create a table with one of its fields being "Description", which will be of the long text type.
The question is the following: Will it be possible using VBA to call a form to add new in-text citations at the mouse cursor? This action will entail the following:
- Calling up a modal form to insert the new information for the specific citation.
- Copying the information entered in the modal form.
- Concatenating the information for the two fields "Citation" & "Citation_Content".
- Pasting the aforementioned concatenated information within the text of the "Description" field at the mouse cursor and creating a hyperlink to the associated "Citation".
Are the above reality or science fiction?
Thank you for any comments or ideas!
