Check off Items in Form

Hello,

I have a form that users type in a part number and a due date. I then run a
report that prints the part number, the components needed and the processes
needed. For example:

------User Form-------

Part 1 6/25/05
Part 2 6/28/05
Part 3 7/1/05


---------Report--------

Part 1 6/25/05

Component 1--------SAW-----WELD------SMOOTH
Component 2--------WELD-----PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 6/28/05

Component 1--------DRILL-------WELD
Component 2--------SMOOTH-----PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------
Part 3 7/1/05

Component 1--------DRILL-----PUNCH
Component 2--------CUT-------PAINT
-------------------------------------------------------------


What the users want the ability to check off (and make dissappear) the
processes each day, so they can see what processes are left.

For example, after day 1 with SAW and WELD done:

Part 1 6/25/05

Component 1--------WELD------SMOOTH
Component 2--------PAINT

I'm confused about how to go about this. I don't want the users to have to
manually type in anything. I want the components and processes to show up
when they type in the part number. I want the user to be able to check off
processes as they go, but I want all the processes to show up when they type
a new part in the form. I would appreciate it if someone would point me in
the right direction.

Thank You,

Chad

What if you were to insert all of these records into an existing table
with a Y/N field for "completed" or whatever. Or a datestamp for
completed, and then you could just filter for Completed=False or
CompletionDate IS NULL or whatever.

The rest looks fairly straightforward:
for each component, there are a series of processes, which begin X days
from starting date. You can do all that with DateAdd() and calculate
on the fly, and/or insert into a final table.

Hello,

Thanks for responding. Let me see if I am on the right track. I have 2
tables-The first is the table the user types in the part number, contract
(forgot to mention that), and due date. The second has all the parts and
their components and processes:

Part------Component-----Process1------Process2-----Process3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1----1st component--SAW---------PAINT
Part 1----2nd component---DRILL-----SAND---------PAINT

I ran an append query to pull the proper components and processes from the
above table and add them to a cumulative table. This is the table the user
can edit because it is tied to a specific contract number and the original
remains untouched. I have a form and subform linked by contract number. Am
I close? If so, is there a way to stop duplicate records from being
inserted into this table---the cumulative destination table. If I am way
off, let me know. This is unlike anything I have done with Access. I
appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Chad

re: Check off Items in Form

Just to clarify my unique values question-The processes will be different
than the parts table if the user changes them, but they will still have the
same contract number. I might get double the component parts needed. I am
using the user input table in the query--if I have 5 records and add a
sixth, I don't want to append the original 5 again. I didn't explain very
well, but I really appreciate the help. Again, I might be way off from what
you suggested.

This will be a list I keep adding to. In addition, I will add a check box
for Total Item Completed, so I can filter out an order (not just processes)
when completely done.

Thank You,

Chad
