Related records navigation bar
Jean-Pierre Christen

Dear Richard, I have to create a company registry database for my staff to use (Customer, Companies, Directors, Shareholders and Beneficial Owners), similar to your automobile tech help video.

1.I want to create a form with vertical navigational bar for company/directors/shareholders/BO. Is it possible that when I open the form (company), the other 3 forms will simultenously show the related records for that company when I click them on the navigation bar?
2.Search Bar for company name in horizontal navigation bar: is it possible to be a combo box with drop down arrow, AND an autocomplete if I start typing in the first letters of the company name?
3.I want to create queries to use as a mail-merge source for documents. I use a lot of Helper Tables like for country. Is there a way for the country name to appear on the query instead of a number from Helper Table?

(PS  I do have a menu form like yours for Customer and Companies, but because of large amount of data and fields neccessary, I had to opt for forms with navigation)

Do you have suggestions on how I can make this work?

Many thanks!!
Jean-Pierre (Seychelles)

Followed your advise on very first video, gave up on Navigation Bar. Putting 3 buttons on the "Company Form" takes me straight to the Director/Shareholder/BO forms, and only shows the info related to the specific company. Many thanks!!!

For Query fields that take info from HelperID in tables and show the corresponding text (and not numerical value), do I need a Helper Data Editor? Is the answer in the ABCD Core videos?

Yep... or you could just make a list items edit form.
