Form/Query Look up wizard

It is possible when building a form to select specific data from a table to appear as a drop down list when inputting new records, is it possible to select different items from different tables to appear in this drop down list?

RE: Form/Query Look up wizard

Brian, thanks for your question.

It can be done, and you need to have the ability to use relationships, foriegnKey, abit of SQL and join types. Even as an Access trainer and user, I would find this fairly complex, and it would take some time to to get working.

Basically you need to create a relationship between the two tables, one on the Primary key, and the other on the ForeignKey. Then create a Query using a UNION JOIN (SQL) to select all records from both tables.

Access tip:

Design View in Relationship window

Your in the Relationship window and changes are required to be made to a Table's design.

Rather than exiting the Relationship window, if you perform a right-mouse click on the table, it opens that table up in Design view
