    Form with single record but multiple tables


    Hi all....

    I have a few tables of customers that I have to call. The tables are all the same but with different data and each record is the full details of the customers that I need to display on a form. The form displays one customer, and after I have called them it goes on to display the next customer. Only one customer is on the screen / form at any one time.

    Now this isn't a problem as I just made a union query of all of the data (about 25,000) altogether and made a few simple queries to show the ones I need to call. However, putting it on sharepoint is a different kettle of fish. It won't allow tables of more than 5000 records and it won't allow union queries.

    Considering that I only need to see one record at a time, but that record may be from any of the tables, is there a way for me to get access to look up what the next record would be instead of trying to load all of them?

    Any help or advice would be great.

    I haven't ever used sharepoint does it allow you to share your form over a network? If so I would set the datasource of the form to be a limited set of values (the data only related to one customer) and you would select the customer you wanted to see via a list box or combo box. Without seeing your data structure and form design it's not possible for me to guess as to how you'd get around a union query.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
