Hi everyone.
First time poster here building by first database and I've run into an issue I can't seem to wrap my head around. I don't have much Access experience, so I've been pretty much learning as I go thanks to many of the posts here.
I'm building a cost estimating database. I built the tables and the relationships, (which I can link if needed) the way I believe they should be built with the correct relationships.
Each "customer" can have multiple estimates. And each "estimate" will have details about that specific estimate including specific items that are included, their quantity, and unit cost. And I have a junction table that links the many to many relationship between the "customers" and "items"
I have created the "customers" form, and within it i have the "estimates" as a subform. And within the "estimates" subform I have an "esimate details" subform. But in this "estimate details" subform I need to have a pre-populated list of "items" that automatically show up so that the user just has to in put the quanity and cost.
What would be the best way to include a pre-populated list of items within the "estimate details" subform? I have queries built already that pull out the items needed from a table of standard items, but I can't seem to get this list to show up correctly in the "estimate details" subform.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
