    Enter Date for multiple records

    Hello -
    I am new to access and trying to learn this. I am in the process of creating a subform. Basically what I would like to do is the following.
    If they enter an order # it pulls pulls up all the records for that order number. (I was able to do this)
    I would like to be able to add a delivery date for all the records under that order #. All the records would have the same date. I've created a text box but in order for it to save the date I need to go to each record manually and update each one this would range from 1 to 100's of records. The last column is the actual from the table. Any help on this would GREATLY be appreciated.

    Thanks

    What's the code or macro behind the GO! button?
    We can use that information to create and run update SQL for the rows shown for the SO#

    If you know that it will always be the same delivery date for all the records for one Order #, then you could just put the delivery date in the order record, rather than the detail records "underneath" it.

    Question: why does your diagram show two different Install Dates? Should one be a delivery date?

    Why do your dates align as text? Are you saving into a text type field instead of date/time type?

    Do you have an Orders table and then a dependent OrderDetails table?

    How is the SO# value created? It is also aligned as text and not a number.

    Advise not to use spaces or punctuation/special characters (underscore is only exception) in naming convention, better would be SO_Num.
