What Do You See? Programmers have two different roles. You need
to see the Form as a User would. You also need to determine if the
Form is saving the right data.
The
Computer Mama Sez: When you are proofing a Form, it helps to see
the Key data and compare what you see in the Form to what is stored
in the Table.
Do they
match? Is number matched to number? Text matched to Text?
In the
example on this page:
Who:
CustomerID 2 (Deeter Poohbah)
Bought:
ReceiptID 1
What:
MovieID 160, 156 and 159.
A Form is
just a pretty, programmable face on a Table. The Table holds the
data, the data, the data. The data is everything.
