Re: [MS_AccessPros] MS Form Question

 

Sometimes, but the basic information is also always entered into the FLOCK table using this form.

 Lambs have special measures related to growth etc.that are sequestered in the LAMB table. That table also holds their dam and sire id and other birth information.

Not all sheep in the FLOCK table have entries into the LAMB table as some come in as adult breeders. The FLOCK table has information about origin and disposition. 

So the form enters data into 2 tables

ID - LAMB

     \- FLOCK

but this form must find Lamb.DamID ->FLOCK.SheepName since it is often useful to us humans when we are entering notes and other information to know that 1732 is the daughter of SoNSo.

Thanks Joanne

Maybe a silly question, but does a lamb ever grow up to become a sheep?

As for doing what you want, I would think that a form editing LAMB needs to only have a combo box with a Row Source:

SELECT ID, SheepName FROM FLOCK;

Make the Bound Column 1, Column Count 2, and Column Widths 0";1"

[Beginner question... I apologize but racked my brain on this]

I am making a Form using 2 tables LAMB and FLOCK

The Lamb table has information on the births:

ID LambID DamID ....

The FLOCK table has 

ID SheepName ......

I would like to have the Form use the DamId listed in the LAMB table to find the SheepName

in the FLOCK table.

I can create a separate table having LambID and DamId and her SheepName but

The question is 

Do I have to run a separate Query to make a table of DamID and SheepName to fill the Form?
