I am currently creating a Database in Access, and I am experiencing difficulties with one thing, and was hoping I could get some advice/tips for it:
I basically have one form on which 3 tables are linked: tblModels / tblProjects / tblJobs
The "models" are the first input, then each "project" is linked to a model, and each "job" is linked to a project; the 3 tables are joined;
I can select a model/project/job in the list boxes, and I can see what is related to what I just selected; I would like to be able to update or add a model/project/job INDEPENDANTLY using the text boxes, meaning that if I click on "new model" button, I just want to add a model only. On the other hand, if I update directly in a "job" text box for example, I would like to only save/update the job I'm modifying. Using "form_dirty" event / DoCmd.GoToRecord, , acNewRec / save record commands in VBA etc, is always tied to the whole form, which is the issue. I cannot find a property to focus my input on one table only.
How can I separate my record input on a form like that? Can I "pause" the record input on 2 out of 3 tables when I am on this form? Do you have any tips experience with this?
I hope my explanation is clear enough, if not let me know:) !
Thank you guys,
