Comboboxes on a form
Nigel Hancock 
    
3 years ago
Not sure which is the correct way of doing this

I want to be able to have a form where the user selects from a number of combo boxes from various tables (that are not linked) to produce a form that can be saved and able to reopen then printed to be used as a cover for a final report

ComapnyName (Company table)

Address (Company Site Info Table)

Assessor (Assessor)

Is this possible and what videos should I be looking at?

"what videos should I be looking at?"

All of them.  (some what jokingly - but mostly not)

By skipping right from the Beginner directly to Developer 1,  I see you jumping around a bit by your questions.
Much of what you are asking about and trying to do is covered through out Richard's courses but they build on each other.
Could you get the basics of building a good data base down by just the TechHelp videos?  Maybe, but it will take you much longer. Those videos are more of a supplement to the regular courses, building on the knowledge gained there.

For instance you would have learned that Forms (and the fields you place on them) are for gathering and manipulating data.
You don't print forms.  You print Reports.

I really encourage to to take a bit of a deep breath and follow the path. To be honest, I don't think you even realize the things you have passed up so far.

Just don't have the time to do the whole course, I am 87 and who knows when my time is up!!!! I am just trying to help my Great grand daughter. I messed about with Access in the early 2000s and thought I would give it a shot, but thank you for trying to steer me in the right direction.

Lad, I'm almost 70 and hobbled by a nasty stroke some years back. I don't try to climb mountains by rope any more when there's a navigable road spiraling its girth to the summit. It's the longer way, but worth the extra days. I'm certain that your objective can be reached but am guessing that you may do best to rethink the approach. Do something simple first and build it up from there in stages, perhaps.
