    Update Tables from Combo Boxes in a Form

    Ok So I've created a Database to track phone calls coming into a call center.
    (Originally created in Open Office, but then we switched to Access)

    I've got a form that has buttons to run multiple reports.

    The Reports pull data from a table based off dates found in another table
    (Something I used in Open Office)

    Table 1 has all the phone calls

    Table 2 has a From date and a to date

    The report pulls the phone calls in table 1 between the dates in table 2.

    In open office I used Subforms (Which were seemless) and combo boxes to update the dates in Table 2 before running the report.

    Is there an easier way to accomplish this in Access? If so How?



    If Not, is there a way to make a seemless subform in Access?
    How again?

    Thanks.

    First off, what are the contents of the two tables? I'm not sure why you would be storing just dates in a second table. How is it related to the first one?

    The first Table has the calls and the scores from the calls (including the dates the calls were taken). The second table has the dates to be used as a begin and end date for the query tied to the report.

    The Form Will have two fields that Update the From Date and To Date in Table 2 With a button to open the form.

    Table 1
    Call # Call Date Rep Time Score
    Call 3 08-25-11 John 1:11 100
    Call 2 08-2-11 Steve 2:04 80
    Call 1 07-2-11 John 5:04 100

    Table 2
    From Date To Date
    08-01-11 08-25-11

    Report returns Calls 2 and 3
    Call # Call Date Rep Time Score
    Call 3 08-25-11 John 1:11 100
    Call 2 08-2-11 Steve 2:04 80

    Thanks again.

    I found a better solution to this issue. I've started to pull the data directly from the form. I was unable to accomplish this in Open Office where the database originated. Tahnks for the help.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
