Search form populate another table

1 New Member
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to do the following, I have a large table of parts, I want to create a form where I can filter this list (show in datasheet) view, to a point where i can see the part I want. I then want to select it by double clicking on it and save it to another table, linked to a (for example) work order.
I am at a loss on how to do this

You must study the sample database available with your version of MS Access. There's a certain amount of time and study you will need to do before getting to the point where you can ask questions about specific problems. Your problem right now is a very general one and the sample database is very good at helping folks get started.

The sample database is called Northwind. In version 2013 it comes up right on the New database creation screen.

Hi All, I am creating a music database for a friend and have run into a problem. Within the ALBUM table, I wanted to store the ARTIST_ID rather than the ARTIST_NAME. To do this, I intended to have have a command button on the album form which would open a search form (based on the artist table). This works as I wanted and allows me to get to one record. I then planned to have a button on the search form which when clicked, would updated...

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,...
