Is it possible for me to use a for loop in runSql? I would like this to work after i push a print invoice button. Right now i have to manually go to another form and insert a new record in the table, but i have all the info I need to do it automatically (customerid, and invoiceid) from the invoice that was just generated from my form. I am used to programming ASP pages and I am not too familiar with VBA in access. I would like to do something like this...
select * from invoice where invoiceid = Forms!Orders!OrderID and invoiceTag=true; .....then I would like to run a for loop to insert a record into another table based on the quantity of the product purchaced using the information that i just got from the invoice table, something like this...
do while not eof or bof
for counter=1 to invoiceQuantity
'in ASP I would make database connection first of course and then
INSERT INTO tblwatercard (CustomerID, Cost,Date) VALUES ('" & invoiceCustomerID & "', '" & invoiceCost & "',#" & date &"#);"
next
recordsource.movenext
wend
I apologise for my limited programming skills. I know that if I was using a web form and ASP, I could get what I want but I am just out of my element at this point in Access. I hope I made sense.
thanks
ps thanks for the tip Jim on my last posting it sent me in the right direction
