I have to make a form for testing parts. What I'm doing is put one part
number per record and entering each time it is tested. My problem is I don't know how to be able to keep entering data for different days. PART # MANUFACTURER 1234 DANLEE PO # ACCEPT/REJECT DATE COMMENTS ABC XXXXX 11/28/06 XXXXX DEF XXXXX 11/29/06 XXXXX GDI XXXXX 11/30/06 XXXXX How do I set the form up so I can enter daily? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jane
I think it may be an idea to have another table. tblParts PartID = Autonumber = primary PartName = Text Manufacturer = Text plus any other fields that are unique to the part eg. ToStock Date, Location, etc tblTests ID = Autonumber primary PartID = Number = Linking field from tblParts TestDate = Date Pass = Yes/No Plus anything else specific to "that" test. eg. Grade given, test by who, etc Open both the relationship window and drag the PartID over the the link field in tblTest - Assuming that parts must be there before they can be tested (?) I would enforce the referential integrity. Next create a form based on tblParts. Sinlge form Next create a form based on tblTests. Datasheet or continous forms Open frmParts in design view andselect the toolbox and then insert a subform. Use frmTests as the subform and link the partID (hich will be on both forms). Now when you select a part the test dates form will be shown for the part. Hope this help -- Wayne Manchester, England. Enjoy whatever it is you do Scusate,ma il mio Inglese fa schiffo :-) Percio se non ci siamo capiti, mi mandate un messagio e provero di spiegarmi meglio.

Hi Wayne,
Thank you very much for the help. I'm having a little problem. I get a error message saying you cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in tblparts. This is what I have done. table one (tblparts) Part ID # (autonumber) Primary Part # Manufacturer # table two (tbltests) ID # (autonumber) Primary PO # Order Qty Rec/Bo Qty Test Qty Accept/Reject Accept Date Comments The relationship window is tblparts(Part ID #) linked to tbltests (ID #) I get the error message after I enter data and try to enter more information is the test area. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for your help. I have access 2002. "Wayne-I-M" wrote: Thanks for getting back to me - it is always good to get feedback.
