Add a table to an existing form
Is it possible to add a new table to an existing form?
I've got a form that has quite a lot of fields and controls from two tables and I would like to add another table and use tabs to seperate the information but I don't know whether this would be possible without starting again?
Thank you
Amy
RE: Add a table to an existing form
Hi Amy,
It is possible to add a new table to an existing form. After you have created a form, you can modify its source of data to include or exclude one or more fields, tables, or queries. Note that changing the record source will change the contents of the field list.
Open the form in Design view. Double-click the form selector (form selector: The box where the rulers meet, in the upper-left corner of a form in Design view. Use the box to perform form-level operations, such as selecting the form) then select Properties to open the property sheet and select the Data tab.
Do one of the following:
To include all fields or columns from a single table or query in the record source, click the arrow in the RecordSource property box to select from a list of tables and queries.
To base the form on certain fields, or on more than one table or query, click the Build button next to the RecordSource property on the Form Design toolbar to open the query
Hope this helps
