UserForm via Join Table

[jammy1812]

Hello,
I'm making a database where I want to fetch a record from a table "Customer Details", from a drop down box in an order form, additionally, if the customer does not exist, I'd like it to add the customer name to "Customer Details" if a user types a name in.

I've managed to do this with other tables, however these are directly linked to the form by a foreign key, however the Customer Details were many-to-many and have been broken up with a weak entity, yet I'm not sure how to get this to work like other parts of the form.

How do I get it so I can link a table via a weak entity?

I'll then be doing the same for Circuit and Site...although one step at a time!

Thank you.

I've attached my Database. =)

I'm afraid your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web.

We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser)to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

No reason to close it. The issue is notifying others when you do cross post.

Hello, managed to solve this issue of the joins, etc.

But have another question.
Say I have Order Type with 2 options: "Provide" and "Cease" on a combo box.
If the value is "Provide" I'd like an option to add circuit to come up on the form, which in turn would lead to another form.
However, if the value is "Cease", then I'd like the option to be either; No option, which I can solve myself, or the option to save and look up existing circuit from the "Circuit" Table.

Cheers.

In the after update event for the combo box, you could create some VBA that uses the IF then sequence to do what you want.
