Hello! I am new to your board!
Can someone please tell me how to keep the value typed in a field (Text field and Combo Box) on a Access Form the same until changed (always retaining the value of the last typed value until changed)?
Thank You!
I have created a form with two subforms. The context of this is a litigation database. The main form is for testimony. Among other things, it includes a field for a question and an answer. Any given piece of testimony may relate to one or more documents, and any document may be referenced in one or more pieces of testimony. So have two subforms, one for documents produced by the Plaintiff, and one for documents produced by the Defendant. It worked out easier that way because I originally created indices of those documents in separate Excel tables which I then imported to Access.
So the relationship for both document tables relative to the testimony table is many to many, which is established using two junction tables.
I also have a combo box in each subform where I can autofill fields based on selection of the document number.
My problem is that while the combo-box works great, once I select a document in the subform, that selection is carried over into the next entry of the master form, but also the selection is not retained in any of the master forms. So I can browse the document listing from any entry in the master form, but I can't get the document selection in the subform to stick and create a lasting relationship to a given record in the master form.
Is my problem that it is just impossible to have a subform based on a many to many relationship, or is it in the parent child relationship of the form and subform, or is it in the properties of the subform?
I have a form and a subform.
When I click on the command button to create a New Record and then type the customer details in the Main Form and the Order Details in the Subform, the information is not retained
i.e. when I close the Form and then re-open the Form the orders details are not saved but the customer details are.
When I re-enter the order details the information is retained this time, everything seems work ok second time round!!
