在ms访问中记录源和控制源

Question

I am creating a continuous form in MS Access 2010. In the details section of the form, I have two text boxes (named txtProj and txtArtifact).

There are 2 tables in the database. tblProject and tblArtifact.

tblProject has [Project ID] - autonumber and [Project Name] - string.
tblArtifact has [Artifact ID] - autonumber, [Project] - number and [Artifact Name] - string. 

[Project ID] and [Project] are related by one-to-many relationship.

The Record Source for the form is tblArtifact. Now, in the textbox named txtProject, I want to display name of the project, rather than Project ID.

I am not able to figure out, how to refer to a control source of a table, which is not record source of the form.

Please help me.

I would be happy to provide any additional details, if required.

Thanks in anticipation.

Answer 1

Try it by joining the two tables,

SELECT  b.[Artifact Name]
FROM    tblProject a
        INNER JOIN tblArtifact b
            ON a.[ProjectID] = b.[Project]
WHERE   b.Project = 'value'

Answer 2

All that was required to be done was this:

1. Set record source property of the form as:

SELECT
    tblProject.*,
    tblArtifact.*
FROM tblProject INNER JOIN tblArtifact ON
    tblProject.[Project ID] = tblArtifact.Project;

2. Now the control source property gets additional drop down options where [Project Name] is included. Select that.
