Hi again, firstly I like to thank the people who helped me through a coursework i needed help on, you have been great! THANK-YOU

I trust u ppl

I am now in the second semester and it's a project type module.

I need some help before I continue.

On paper, I have done/drawn up some relationships of tables etc...

The database is based on a company who make and sell some items/products and they are planning to implement technology/electronic format of organising this stuff.

Now, I have made up these tables needed, on paper:

Customer Details
Product Details
Unpaid Orders
Customer Order History
Order form

now, I am a newbie so please, talk easy on me!

Right what I want to know is some information for the order form:

I have decided to put in a subform in the order form, this subform is for the customer details.

Lets say, IF we enter an exisiting customer number, how can I tell it to bring up the customer details eg:

If customer number 1234 was Joe Bloggs, it should pull up this info from the Customer Table:

Joe Bloggs
1234 high street
Bloggs Land
ABC 123


is it possible? If so, how??

OK, so if the user doesn't enter and existing customer number, a new record is created, great.

If the exisiting customer is entered, and the user enters an EXISITING PRODUCT NUMBER from the Product Table, how can I tell it to show up the details of that product on the Order form table from the product details table? And then, how does it save all that ? Does it save all the order information in it's own table?


Sorry if it sounds complicated, I need help ASAP. I am trying very hard here, more than the group anyway and I am the key role in this. I just need to clear these small things up first otherwise I am doomed and don't want that.

So please, help me and if u r, explain in nice easy steps

Thank-you


Sorry for posting this thread in the forms group too....i don't know which one the question should be asked, sorry for the inconvenience caused :)
 
You might want to take a look at the Northwind Sample Database included with Access, or open access and select File > New and then click on the Databases Tab. There is an Order Entry Acccess Template that you can use to create a mock Order Entry Database. You can review the relationships for the database under TOOLS > RELATIONSHIPS.

These could give you a solid foundation to start building your database.
 
I will try...thanks :)
 
another quick question that is bugging me:


in VBA, if we have a subform on a form and it has some txt boxes, how do we tell VBA to get the values of that txt box?

cause in VB it would be:

x = formx.txtemail.text

etc....

any ideas?
