Update from Another Table. Plus World Flags!

In this video, I'll show you how to properly normalize the country field in your customer database retroactively by creating a country table, and then saving your existing data with update queries. Then, as a BONUS, I'll show you how to display that country's flag on the customer form.

Louis from Arlington, Virginia (a Gold Member) asks: I've got my state and country fields as text like you show in your videos, however my users are entering values any which way. I've got US, USA, U.S., U.S.A, United States, and others. How can I limit them to just ONE value?

Members

Members are going to learn how to create a popup form to allow the users to pick the country flag from a list of world flags and return that selection to ANY form that calls it.
