In ACCESS 2007 I have 2 tables that are in a 1-to-many relationship, and the Primary Key for Table A is in both Tables. I have a form with data from Table A and a command button that opens up another form to allow users to add data to Table B. This form is a split form and works very well when there are existing records in Table B. The split form (Table B data) has a sub-form with Table A data and the command button links the Table A primary key (Table A = Sub form) . It does works really well – when Table B already has a record created from Table A.
The split form will not work when there isn’t a record created in Table B yet. To get around that I’ve created another form that will create a new record and it works like it’s supposed to as well.
This is where I need assistance: The first form from Table A has two Command Buttons under a question:
HAS A RECORD BEEN CREATED FOR THIS POST YET?
Cmd 1= Yes, take me to the Records list
Cmd 2= No, I need to create a Record
My issue is I have to trust the user to hit the right button. Is there a way I can create a macro or code behind just one Command Button to go to either form based on whether or not the Table A Primary Key exists in Table B?
I’m not as experienced in ACCESS as I would like to be and do not know very much about coding. I’ll take any recommended reading that’s offered as well…. Thanks for any help you can provide.
