RE: Forms and multiple tables

Create a form using the wizard.

Select the first table in the Table/Queries combo box

Select the fields to be viewed in the form

Repeat for the second/third tables

Complete the form wizard as normal

Alternatively create a separate form for each table and combine the forms in a separate new form using either the SubForm or Tab controls.

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
