What Are the Objectives?

The Movie Search Form and Subform have a Rating Control, which is Text. This lesson will add the Genre Control. First, we will confirm that both Forms have the same Field. Then, we'll use a Query to look up the Rating and synchronize the Rating and Genre Combo Boxes.

 

Create a Genre Table

Add data to the Genre Table

 

Edit the Form and Subform

Add the Genre Control to the Master Form

 

Use the Property Sheet to Link the Forms

Confirm the Master and Child Links

Test the Movie Search Form

Automate the Form with a bit of code (a Macro!)

 

Troubleshoot the Programming

Review the Form and Control Properties

Review the Master and Child Links
Review the Embedded Macro

 

That's the plan.
