Re: Two forms, one entry

The reason you don't multipost, is that this very question was answered in
the mpa.forms. Perhaps you abandoned that thread because you didn't like the
answer you were given, or because you lost track of it altogether.

Well thank you two for informing me of my error. I did not try to be
rude nor did I try to waste any ones time. I had no idea there was a
way to "crosspost"; I did not know there was etiquette to posting
either. I have just recently gotten involved in this type of thing. I
am sorry if I have offended you in some way. And I am also sorry that
I wasted your valuable time. Please forgive my ignorance.

Now, back to the topic. I do have a descriptor field (run number) that
is unique to each entry. I assumed that would be how to make this
work, but I don't know how to actually do it..

Thanks for your help.

That's uncommonly rude.

Most of us who volunteer here cover more than one newsgroup. I saw
both your messages, as did many of the other volunteers.

You're basically saying "ok, I'll waste several people's time
answering questions in duplicate just to see who falls for it". OK,
after thinking about it for a while, I did.

If you must post in two newsgroups, please *crosspost* rather than
multiposting. See http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm.

Okay, new question for me. I would like to set up two forms that enter

data into the same row in a table. The reason for this is that in one
of our processes we have to log in and log out the same thing with
different measurements at each step. I would really enjoy it if I put
it in one table and just had the log out data added onto the log in
data. Is there a way to make the log out form look up the log in
information and continue with it? thanks for all your help in advance.

Sure. Just base both Forms on the same query on the table. How would
the log out form "look up the log in information"? What is distinctive
about the particular record which needs to be looked up, and how can
it be distinguished from other records in the table?
