Hi!
I would like to make an editable continous form, where most
fields will be from table A and editable, except 1-3 fields are
a glimpse into table B and uneditable. Table A relate to table B
in one-to-many relation. I don't need to see all values in B
that relate to the particular record in A, just one value in
each field in B, preferably the last entered.
This is to ease a person that need to manually fix and encode
some of the records.
However, this means an aggregate value (last) upon B's fields
side by side with values from table A. This render the query
uneditable and hence the form also uneditable.
I tried to work on it the form itself using unbounded fields,
but since it is a continuous form, obviously each time the value
in the unbounded fields change, it change in every display of
the record. So it doesn't work.
I tried the aggregate functions, but it quite a performance hit,
and there is no DLast.
I am thinking to use a "scratch" table to contain temporary
value of the B table, but since the operator may jump to other
forms to edit value in B as well, means the scratch table will
have to be rewritten avery time that happen.
Is there anyway to make this work in Access?
Thank you!
