[mso] Re: Access 97 - Two tables

This is known as a one to many relationship

One you need to do is add a subform to the main form.  The main form shows
data from the "one" side of the relationship.   The subform shows data from
the "many" side of the relationship.

Open the main form in Design View and add a subform by clicking on the
subform button on the Toolbox...the Wizard will walk you thru it.

Subject: [mso] Access 97 - Two tables

I have an Access 97 database with two tables in it. 

One table named CUSTOMER has an Autonumber type column named ID, the other
columns in the table are the usual stuff (name, address, phone number, etc).


The other table named COMMISSION, has a number type column named CustomerID
that is used to identify the record in the CUSTOMER table it belongs to
based on CUSTOMER.ID

Each record in CUSTOMER may have none, one or more records in COMMISSION. 

I want to build a FORM which displays the customer information from the
CUSTOMER table, with a button in it that when clicked, will display any
corresponding records in the COMMISSION table, with the ability to manage
them (e.g., ADD/UPDATE/DELETE) while maintaining their unique relationship
to the specific CUSTOMER record.

I would expect that this is pretty standard stuff, and I think I could
probably do this with an ASP page, but the table resides on a standalone
Win98 machine. I can't figure it out in this environment.
