Using one search button to look in four forms?

19 New Member
I have a database that uses four forms and each form has it's own table and each form has it's own search button to find a specific record within that table. I would like to use one search button that will look at all four tables and bring up the correct record when the request number is entered. Can I link all the tables to perform this or is code required? Can someone send me in the right direction for how to do this? Give me an example of code if it's required?

Thanks for any help someone can give me.

Hi Laura
If you can write a query using query design to bring up just the record(s) that you need from all four tables, then you can design a form based on that query and use a search button to search and display from that query. Whether or not that form/query is updateable (ie you can change the data in the underlying tables) depends on the design of the query though.

Have fun

I set up a copy of this form at my web site so that I could see exactly what a...

Hi all, I am having trouble converting the code below (found on http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/core/sendmessage.htm) into a format that will work using vb .NET. Can anyone have a look at it and let me know what I need to change. I have tried changing the "hwnd" type into intptr's but there seem to be other problems too, like it won't allow "lParam As Any" to be declared.

Been having a problem using a treeview. Work great the first time the form containing it is entered but not the second time.

Hi! My problem is basically in a search modal window, where the user is allowed to make a selection on which option to take. After selecting an option and then giving the data to search, the user clicks the "OK" button and the user gets taken back to the "Customer" form with the correct searched record. The function works fine except that every now and then it takes 3-5 seconds to close the search modal window and goes back to the...

Overview: 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,...
