subform problems
in [Form]
|
From: einstein1221 on 4 May 2010 11:58 I have a database that has a form for purchase orders. It auto-generates a purchase order number. The user types in customer information. The form also has a subform on it for details on parts. There is a one to many relationship between subform and form using the purchase order number. The subform also generates an id # as its key. The problem that I am having is when the form is saved, the subform saves in reverse order of the way it is typed in. Where this causes problems is in the printing of the report that serves as the actual purchase order...It prints the reverse order. How do I either change the order the subform fields print, or have the fields saved in order they are typed. I am newer to coding so simplicity is appreciated. Here are the fields I am using for subform: potransid.......autogenerated key po# qty item cost Thanks in advance for your help!
From: Rick Gould on 5 May 2010 01:09 One option is to print in potransid order (key field for your PO Item detail). Since this should be generated in the order in which it is keyed it should come out right. The other thing you will see in older program (much older) is an actual line number field that defaults, pretty much the same thing but always starts with 1 for each new PO (master) and increments every time a detail record is added for THAT PO. EG: PO #1000 has two detail (subform records) PODetailNum 1 and PODetailNum 2 PO #1001 has three detail records PODetailNum 1, 2 and 3 The top solution is the easier and most common solution, just using your existing key as a sort order for the report. Hope this works for you! "einstein1221" wrote: > I have a database that has a form for purchase orders. It auto-generates a > purchase order number. The user types in customer information.

From: einstein1221 via AccessMonster.com on 6 May 2010 11:47 I changed the sort order on the report but to nothing happened. That's when I noticed that when the form is saved, the subform actually saves in reverse order it is typed. In other words, the last record typed in the subform saves with the lowest potransid.
