Greetings all,
Thank yous to everybody who has helped an Access newbie work on this project.
My latest problem:
I have a form with the system name, serial number, etc. I have an embedded form with patch #, patch date, and the patch generating organization. The embedded form is linked to a different table than the main form.
I would like users to be able to enter a patch # and patch date, and have the patch table to create a new row, but the main form not create a new record. So, if a new patch # and date is entered, the new # and date will be displayed on the form, while the new # & date, as well as the old #s and dates, will be stored in the # and date table.
The idea is that we need to keep a record of which patches were applied, and when they were applied, but most users will only need to know which patch is currently on the machine.
Currently, if I enter a new patch # and date, the new data is saved in place of the old in the table.
