Forms do not generally map all that well to logical, normalized designs. >So according to this scenario I think the best reply would be "the 1st Table >is the Record Source for the Report." If you open the Report in design view, view its Properties, and select the Data tab, what is shown in its "Record Source" property? >The Where Condition for the Macro is same as I informed in my earlier post >"[JobID]=[Forms]![QuoteForm]![JobID]". Macros don't have Where Conditions. Forms do. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]

From: Gina Whipp on 29 Dec 2009 20:54 Kunal, Is the form open? Is JobID text or numberic?

From: Kunal Jariwala on 29 Dec 2009 22:12 John, 1. I very well knw tat my Database design is not in Third Normal Form neither in Second Normal Form !!! As I am not as good on creating the forms and as this database requirement is urgent I added all the fields required in the form into a single table, which can hav only one adverse effect - 'the size of the database will be big' and I am not worried about the size at tis point !!! To get tis work I made all the fields optional (not required) and thus it allows me to put everything togather in one simple form. The only thing Report has to do is to knw copy data opposite to the relevant JobID and print it !!! Also the Layout of the Report is same as Layout for Form. 2. Regarding the Record Source for the Report, my reply would be same... its the "First Table". 3. Macros DO have WHERE CONDITIONS !!! As Gina replied to ur post, they are used to Open Report or Form through Macros. Thanks. Kunal. "John W.

Hi Gina, Mi JobID is Numeric (Auto Integers). I m trying to set the Print Command on the Form. But I think its the Macros where condition which is having trouble... The condition which I pasted before is the one I copied from one of the Templet I downloaded from Microsoft Website. Their Database is more complicated than mine... and it does work there but not with mine... All names are correct, but still dosent work??? Thanks. Kunal.
