[MS_AccessPros] Re: Help with FORM using query

 

Thanks John, you are definitely right.  That would be easier and each would have their on before update events.  I think I will go with that approach.

Thanks again John

In my opinion, this should be a form to edit tblQuestions and a subform to edit tblAnswers, with the Link Master and Link Child properties set to ID_Question.  When a question has no answers, all the user will see is an empty row where a new answer can be entered.  Both forms should be bound.

By "proper" fields, I am talking about the fields where the data changed; i.e. the control "strQuestion" has change and would update the strQuestion with the new info.  The query follows:

SELECT tblQuestions.ID_Question, tblQuestions.strQuestion, tblQuestions.boolActiveQ, tblQuestions.boolGraphic, tblQuestions.lngQTypeID, tblQuestions.lngQClassID, tblAnswers.lngCorrectAns, tblAnswers.Option1, tblAnswers.Option2, tblAnswers.Option3, tblAnswers.Option4, tblAnswers.Option5, tblAnswers.Option6, tblAnswers.Option7, tblAnswers.Option8, tblAnswers.Option9, tblAnswers.Option10, tblQuestions.strImage
FROM tblQuestions LEFT JOIN tblAnswers ON tblQuestions.ID_Question = tblAnswers.ID_Question
WHERE (((IsNull(tblQuestions.lngQTypeID))<>False)) Or (((IsNull(tblQuestions.lngQClassID))<>False)) Or (((tblQuestions.lngQTypeID)<1)) Or (((tblQuestions.lngQClassID)<1));

This is used to identify information missing (required info) and allows the user to insure the other information is correct (allowed to edit).

Not sure what you mean by "proper" fields.  Can you post the SQL of the query that's the Record Source?

I have a form which has a record source using a query of a joined of two tables.  Is there an easy way to update the proper fields on the two tables?  I was thinking using Form BeforeUpdate but not sure how it should be done.

I tried making the controls unbound and look for changes then dynamically write the update query.  However,  when I do this the text boxes are always null at the initialization of the textbox from the query.  So I am going back to bound controls.

Any suggestions on updating the fields when going to the next record in the query?
