Hello everyone.
I got great help here getting my data structure and tables in order, and have built some forms succesfully, but ran in to a bit of a problem.

Before i explain i would like to thank all who helped me to get my data in order, especially Minty!

Here is what i am looking to accomplish.

The first form i open is a form with table look with list of patients from personal_clinical_info....
And on the top or bottom in header and footer, i want to have buttons to open a form that i select in that table in another full personal and clinical detail form.

I created a form, i created a query with maybe 5 items from the table, when i created a form i dragged this query in to that form and all was fun and good, until i wanted to make a first command button that opens a record i select on in that query i dropped on the form. It says you have chosen forms that can not be linked. The DB is almost ready, and i can't get past this issue. As design with displaying some info from table in order to open it with a command button is a best solution. I simply can't get as far as tie them together.

Do you understand what i am looking for?
Maybe main form is worth having in a subform design?

Please ask if i didn not explain well what i am trying to accomplish.

Personally I wouldn't display data on the main navigation form.
Perhaps if you uploaded a copy of your database someone / possibly me could give you some pointers.

Draw out what you think you would like and post up a picture.
 
Hi Minty,

I think you remember me from this thread:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=281492&goto=newpost

Im getting a headeache here.
The data is at the front, button to open existing one from the datasheet, that sheet contains only some info from a table, not all of it.
Then a button to open a new one.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, maybe there is a way to accomplish that without a datasheet view?

Okay - I see think I see where you are heading - I'll try and have a look at this tonight when I get home, and post back some simple examples.

I will almost certainly use some VBA code to accomplish certain things but I think you should be able to follow it and hopefully then use similar techniques to accomplish further steps.
 
Thank you! Im leaving office for today ... i will be back tomorrow! :)
 
Hey all,How do i write an event that would make a record to open on double click or via a button?
