    Question One-off check boxes in form's datasheet view

    Gurus,



    i have a question about using check to select records from a form to create records in another table. There is no need for those check boxes in any of the existing tables, the main purpose of those it to specify which items need to be moved.

    Use case is the following:

    tbl_items contains all items sold by a store
    tbl_RFQitems contacts items to be sent for quote to a supplier
    frm_Itemview displays items based on specific search results

    Each record in frm_itemview is to have a checkbox, which can be selected/unselected per record
    Clicking a button moves specific values from checked records into tbl_RFQitems table

    Any recommendations on how this could be done?

    Thank you much in advance!

    Don't. There is seldom justification to 'move' records in relational database. This is not an Excel workbook.

    Just set the yes/no field and then filter records based on its value. Use an UPDATE query to set all records back to No for that field.

    Is this a multi-user database? What you have will not work for multiple users running same copy of the file.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

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