    Google Search Terms Needed

    I am positive that the answer I'm looking for is in some sort of tutorial somewhere but I don't know what to search for.



    I would like to run a report (I think) that gives me all the items for a specific cost center.

    I have a tblCostCenter which has the 10 or so cost centers listed. It's in a one to many relationship with the CostCenter field in tblCorporateFixedAssets.

    I want to be able to have a pretty report where the person chooses the cost center from tblCostCenter and then it returns all the assets assigned to that cost center.

    I know I can run a qry on each and every cost center and thus a report from that, but I dont' want to do that, I want something (maybe it isn't a report. . . ) to open, ask you to choose which cost center and then voila, all the assets.


    So if this isn't a report, what is it? And what should I search for to find my answer. I've tried data from different tables and things like that but nothing I've found involves a drop down choice from a different table.

    Thank you in advance.

    You could do this a dozen ways. For example, a form might have a dropdown where you can choose the cost center, and a continuous form subform could display the detail items for that cost center.

    Or if you want it prettier, then the same dropdown could set a global variable or a tempvar, and then the user could click a button to view the report. Lots of ways to do what you want.

    Thank you both! I knew it could be done a million ways but when you dont' know the questions to ask, it's hard to find answers. Thanks again. I'll get right on it.
