    Access 2016-Creating main Work Order form with ability to enter multiple jobs


    I have Access 2016. I would like to create a database form that will tie multiple job order entries to a single work order table. How do I do that?

    Are any "close" to what you want because they should be pretty easy to tailor to your exact needs.

    It is *much* easier to modify an application that is "close" to what you need than create one from scratch. There are plenty of helpers on this forum that would be glad to help if you get stuck on something.
    Good luck with the project.

    Did those suggested models not have a work order table linked to some other table (e.g. work order task)?? This seems pretty basic. Wondering why they didn't meet your needs.
    There are several supporting tables that you could link to a work order table: task comments, completion comments, approval comments, task order parts, costing, etc.
    The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
