I'm not very familiar with Access and yet somehow I was given the
responsibility of creating a database. As much as I've been able to "pick it
up" through other posts and microsoft templates and just pushing buttons,
there's still a few things I can't figure out.
First, I have learned that you must assume the user has no idea what they're
doing. In the form, I want the user to be able to scroll through and look at
records but not be able to change them (a database is only as good as the
information that's in it). I want "create new project", "delete current
project", and "modify current project" buttons so that it is editable but
only if you are intending to edit it. I know that you can lock the fields but
i want a button to unlock them if possible.
Any help here would make my day
Thanks, Katie
