I illustrated one way of doing this in my November, 2003 "Access Answers"
column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access".

You can download the column (and sample database) for free at
http://www.accessmvp.com/djsteele/SmartAccess.html Unfortunately, the sample
database uses webpages that have changed since the article was published.
Hopefully, though, the concepts will be enough to get you started.
