    Opening specific form when clicking cell in table

    Hi

    I am looking for a way, to open a form related to a table cell. Consider the following table:

    Say i click Country B. I then want a form to open with information regarding that country. The same goes, if I click one of the cities.
    Is this possible in any way?



    Thanks!

    Country City 1 City 2 City 3
    Country A City A City B City C
    Country B CIty D City E City F
    Country C City G City H City I

    Note that Paul's excellent tutorial is talking about clicking on a Control in a Form which is based on a Table...which is how this must be done! You cannot do it clicking on a Cell in a Table itself.

    Also note that you really, really, really need to take the time to read the article on Relational Databases/Normalization that he gave you a link for! Your displayed example is grossly flawed and will cause you constant problems, in accomplishing even the simplest tasks.
