I have a simple problem, i just can get a grasp on it. I designed a
database for inventory of computer equipment. Now i created forms for
each table. Each piece of equipment is going to come in an order.
ORDERS --> ORDER CONTENTS --> DEVICES --> CPUS
--> PRINTERS
--> NETWORK HARDWARE
You get the picture. I want to make the updating easy. I start from
ORDERS table enter all the common information, then ORDER CONTENTS
table and get all that information in, and then i enter the
information for each specific device, and then the details on
different devices. I made a button on each form to go from one to the
other and thus it creates a new record for me in that table.
The question:
What i want to do is have the form ORDERS carry over the order number
(pk) to the next table i update, thus ORDER CONTENTS...and then i want
DEVICES table to carry over pc number to the next form, so it cuts
down on typing and it cuts down on possible errors user can
make...would anyone have any input i could use. Thank you so much...
