Hi all,
I have a problem that maybe has no solution, but before giving up, I was
wondering if somebody has an idea....
I have a form with a subform (continous) that shows the related records; the
form shows the CDs, while the subform shows a record for each item in the
CD.
Pressing the Edit button, the form and the subform become editable, so that
the user can change the CD details and / or any information about the
content. After having done any change, I've put an undo and a save button so
that the user can decide wheter confirm the changes, or discard them.
As you can image, the save button works anyway (it is almost a fake button
cause access saves automatically) while the undo button often doesn't work,
cause as soon as you click in the subform, the record on the form is saved,
and if the user moves accross several records in the subform and makes
several changes, the undo button will not work for all of them...
Is there a big mistakes somewhere or is it just not possible? Any other
idea?
For us who know what a record and a table are, it is easy to know when to
use save or undo, but for a user that is just doing data entry and doesn't
know anything about Access, would be great to look at form and subform like
a unique record.
Any help or ideas very much appreciated,
Massimo

Hi,
I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody
in the family, one record per person. Each record has an autonum ID.
The parent form (frmMainForm) displays the data in each record, which
includes the ID of the father and the mother (who also have records in the
table). One record per form.
I have a Tab Control in the form, and in one of the tabs I have a subform
(sfmSiblings) in which I wish to list...

Hi,
I am working on a genealogy project in which I have two tables:
Person -- one record for each person in the family. Each record has a
unique Autonum field (IDPerson).
Partnerships -- one record for each marriage. Each record has a unique
Autonum field (ID), and also contains two fields IDPartnerMale and
IDPartnerFemale. Both of the latter fields match records in the Person
table via IDPerson.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
