    Question Ability to view data?

    Exactly, I do not want anyone to have access to the table. How can they view past records without see the table is the question. Should I build a form or report? Which one allows a user to filter to the specific record they are looking for? I am thinking it will have to be a form - but I am...

    Need more space for comments

    We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments.

    Looking for auto population ability

    Once the fields were added to the query I added them to the form. No, I do not know how to open a recordset. Previously I built a relationship and added the field to the form and the relationship populated the added field once the first field was filled in.

    Looking for auto population ability

    Yes, I have created a select query which takes the relationship data and enters the four fields needed. The query works fine. Then I went to the form and added those columns to form options, but it is acting like a filter and not allowing new entries.

    Looking for auto population ability

    Post 9 was to clarify post 7 but I failed to state that we do have another table that only houses the salary lines and is updated via excel weekly from our seperate payroll system. This issue has the highest priority, with e-mails being secondary.

    Looking for auto population ability

    Let me try to be clearer: We created an access database to streamline our department and maintain history on our work. We had a 12 step process using word, excel and outlook that we were able to change to a 3 step process using access. Step/Form 1 is used by analyst to evaluate/rate a new...

    Looking for auto population ability

    I do see now that this would expose our data to unintentional changes. Can we protect fields on forms - to only show information but not be open for changes? Would it be possible for a user to enter data into a field on one form that would auto populate a field on another form with information...
