Tim I would love to that! But I have a much bigger problem right now and I could desperately use some help. I lost all my data, the database is still there but the data is gone. How do I append data from an old database? I just keeping getting error messages..

Tiffany,
Just another 2 cents to throw in here. If the boss wants to see them flipping back and forth between 2 spreadsheets, you can do that with the 1 table and 1 form - similar to what everyone else is suggesting, with just 1 sneaky addition.
On the form you can put a tab control. Make it look just like tabs the boss is used to using. You can then either put a version of the datasheet on a subform on each tab - filtered to show sold or active. Or, with a bit of coding - you could just have a single datasheet sitting outside of the tab controls (nothing on the tab pages - just for show), and when a tab is clicked - the datasheet refreshes with a new filter to show sold or active assets according to which tab the boss clicks.
Keep the form simple for your sake with a single form - but you can usually make it work and look like the user needs - with a little creative usage of the controls.
FWIW,
