Add and edit Information in the same form?

[sdel_nevo]

Hi All



The amount of forms in my database is getting quite large, most are very similar to existing forms

an example would be

"Add order" is the same as "edit Order

both of these forms contain the same data, the "edit order" for opens up to show information based on the id that is selected.

my question is this

is there a way to use the same for for both entering data and to view data based on an ID being selected?

i have inherited this order database from a previous employee and im trying to tidy up the system so my boss can move forward with development of it.

I think we could, yes.

Can you upload your database. It would be much easier.

I usually make an interface with buttons. I make two buttons for each form... one button opens the form in Edit mode, the other button opens the same form, but in Add mode.

Hi LillMcGill

that's a really simple solution, many thanks
