I have the following code to Open a form and set the form to the Survey_ID
from the first form.
I keep get errors like cannot update file --- The Survey_ID is an autonumber.
Could this be the problem ?
Private Sub Command259_Clic k()
' Open Form
'DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCHAR2", acNormal, , , acFormEdit
'Set Value ID
'Forms![frmSERVICES1]!Survey_ID.Valu e = Me![Survey_ID].Value
'Close Form
'DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmSERVICE S1", acSaveYes
'End Sub

You can't update an AutoNumber field. Changing it to a Number will make it
work. I suspect that in reality you have a design issue here. Can you give
the group a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish?

I have 5 tables each with a corresponding form. The forms are for Data Entry
purposes only.
Each record has a Survey_Id that is provided by an Autonumber. The User Adds
a record and enters information starting at Frm1 and ending with Frm5. The
User wants to be able to recall a record to review for errors. I would like
to place a filter so that the User may call up a record.
If I only use the properties option Data Entry yes.. I have no problem. Now
that I want to add a filter so that the User may go back I am running into
all kinds of problems. The ID from the first form is not matching the other
forms On open... Or, the ID matches but there is no information displayed ..
Should I be looking at Subforms ?
Thanks

If you have a form with the record and want to edit on the second form.
Watch for wordwrap
DocmdOpenForm "frmCHAR2", , , , "SurveyID = " &
Forms![frmSERVICES1]!Survey_ID
If adding, this is one method...no wordwrap
docmd.OpenForm "frmCHAR2",,,,a cFormAdd
Forms!frmCHAR2! Survey_ID = Me.Survey_ID
An easy way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJfH6ExfmwM

I didn't notice you mentioned the Survey ID is an autonumber till later.
No need to assign a value like the second line in the second example.
As soon as you start to enter any data into the form it will create
the value. You might want to open the property sheet for that field in
frmchar2 and if you display it, set the enabled flag to No (and maybe
locked to yes depending on the user interface.
However, if you have Table1 (master) with SurveyID as Autonumber and
Table2 that links to Table1 (child) then you would NOT want SurveyID to
be an autonumber.
If you are saying you have 1 Survey and 5 differernt types of information
relevant to that survey, you shoud be using 5 tables, one for the main bit
of information - SurveyID as the PK Autonumber and possibly Survey details,
Site Address etc and 4 other tables with SurveyID as the foreign key. I
usually give all tables a PK Autonumber, to see if things have been deleted.
Then as you guessed use Subforms (possibly on a tabbed form) to input the
different bits of info.

Anyone have any ideas on how to determine when the back-end file (containing
only tables) has been updated with new data.
The date/time of the file won't work because it gets updated to the current
date/time when the back-end file is compacted.
I'm just looking for an easy way to determine when there has been a change to
data in any table in the back-end file.
Maybe something is updated in one of the system tables??
