Multiple input form

Hi all,

I have a table with 300 fields. I can not create the
input form on one page form, because there are more than
750 controls for 300 fields. Thus, I divided 300 fields
to three different input forms, e.g. form1, form2, and
form3. How can I connect these form together while input.
For example, when finish input form1, then open form2
with the same ID as the previous ID in form1.

Thanks

Eh? Access has an absurdly high limit of 255 fields in a table. Is
this a linked table in some other software?

I've needed as many as 60 fields in a table... twice in the past
twenty years. I cannot imagine any Entity with 300 unique attributes -
is there any way that you can normalize this table into two or more
one-to-many relationships?

You'll need to pass the ID in the OpenArgs property of the OpenForm
method, and then set the Default property of the ID in the second
form's Open event.

But I'd VERY strongly suggest that you consider normalizing the table
structure and working in the relational paradigm, rather than
struggling against Access' limitations to force it to handle a
non-normalized spreadsheet!
