Advanced Form Design,
part 2:
Create the Receipt Form
Advanced
User Interface Design: The Receipt Form
will use a Combo Box Control to look
up data in one Table and add it to another Table.
Plan:
The Receipt Form will enable Users to search for
a customer by their phone number and automatically display the
customer's information.
What Are
the Steps? Create a
new Query for the Record Source. The Query will JOIN the Receipt
Table with a Query, CustomerNameSQ, that looks up the customer's
name and address.
When both
Forms are formatted and tested , they will be linked by three Key
Fields.
Why Use
This Method? A Combo Box Control is an
effective way to look up the data. When a User selects a phone
number the Form will automatically display the customer's name and
address.
