Show Different Forms

Hi
Loving these classes!

How do I show a form (or forms) under original form depending on checkbox or selected field value? These forms are for data entry. I am trying to create a electronics component database.

Yes, it's possible. Since you're a Beginner user, I'd say you can use the Command Button Wizard to Open a Form and show specific data. That's covered in Access Beginner 7. You'd have to link the new form to a field in the current form. For example, you can open the orders for the current customer.

Now changing WHICH form opens up isn't possible at the Beginner level. You'd need some VBA programming which is covered in the Developer level. Something like this in the Event for the button:

If MyCheckBox = TRUE then
   DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1F"
else
   DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2F"
End if


Hang in there. You'll get to that later on when you get to the Developer classes. If you want to jump ahead, watch my Intro To VBA.
