Form and Subform Design, Part 1:

Create the Form

Key Concept: Use a Combo Box Control to look up data in one Table and add it to another Table.

 

Plan: The Form will enable Users to search for Movies by Rating. This Form will have a new Table, tblMovieSearch, as the Record Source.

 

What Are the Steps?

Create a new Table for the Movie Search Form.

Create a new Form based on tblMovieSearch.

 

Create a new Table for the Rating data.

Use tblRating as the Control Source for a Combo Box on the MovieSearch Form.

 

What Are the Issues? This Form should be in Single Form View.

 

Why Use This Method? A Combo Box Control is an effective way to look up the data in a Table. When a User selects a value from a Table it is accurate and spelled right.
