Hi there,
first of all, I apologise if any of my terminology is wrong, because English is not my first language and thus my Access is not in English as well.
I have a school project and I am pretty much panicking because I am way in over my head.
You can find my file here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pwjdo...uxa2orini&dl=0
Sorry for the dropbox link, the file was too big for upload directly in the forum. There are quite a few tables, queries and forms but I will describe exactly where the problem is. None of the data in this real, so don't worry about privacy.
First of all: In the table with the customer data there are a few data points which are saved as a number although they represent other terms. In this case these are the three fields that are comboboxes: "Anrede" (salutation), "Bundesland" (federal state) and "Bonität" (credit score). But as an example we can just talk about the salutation. In the table "Kunden" (customers) the salutation is represented as a number from 1 to 3. These are the IDs from the table "Anrede" (salutation) where the salutaion is stores as a word if that makes sense. So 1 is "Frau" (Mrs.), 2 is "Herr" (Mr.). This is the way we were supposed to do it. I have no Idea if it is done this way in the real world.
In my database I have a problem when it comes to the way this information is displayed in a form and the affects changes have. If you check the file, your basis should be the form "formKundenübersicht" which just displays all of the customers. If you click on any of the hyperlinked numbers in the first column you will get into a form where you are able to edit all the customer information. I wanted this to be a combobox so only the given options can be chosen. The problem is, if I change the salutation here from one to the other, it does not change the salutation of this one customer. It changes it in the table "Anrede" (salutations). So if it says "Herr" in the form and I change it to "Frau" it changes the entry in the table "Anrede" itself.
I tried for hours to fix this but I don't know where to go from here. Can you help me?
If anything is unclear or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks a lot in advance.
