For the last 3 days, I have been trying to fix my access document as I am wanting to track inventory on merchandise gifted by people as well as track their monetary donation. I am starting a non-profit.
I have 3 tables setup
1. Donor Information (name, address, telephone, etc)
2. Inventory (contains items, size, gender, etc)
3. Monetary Donation (tracks who donated what)
I do not want to rely on table entry but rather form entry, so I have created 3 forms.
1. Add Donor
2. Add Inventory
3. Add Monetary Donation
My vision for this is: I want to be able to add a donor into the Donor form, that then updates the donor's table. I then would like to (first) add a monetary donation which I can choose the donor's name, enter the amount, and date received and this information updates on the Monetary Donation Table. Also if I wanted to add the donor's donated merchandise under inventory, I would like to add all the information in the inventory form that would then update on the inventory table.
What's going wrong: So far, the Monetary form is not associating itself correctly with the Donor Information. It is only grabbing the ID instead of the ID and name.
I have not tried the Inventory form yet as I have been trying to work the Monetary form first.
This all works so simply in my head but Access is very tricky when putting it to work.
If anyone is able to take this document attached and help me fix this database to help my non-profit, that would truly be amazing.. Or tell me step by step how to do it would be great.
**Side note: I've looked at relationships, Property sheets, etc and just have no clue what is not working correctly.
** I've also removed some private information to protect the donors information, so please know a lot of records have been deleted.
Your help would be very much appreciated!!
