ms access Add, Edit, Delete Items through an Access form

Question

I'm not real familiar with inputting data through forms. Up until now I've just been handling the data from the table. However, now I have a table with two pieces of information:
Group ID
Each ID is in a group, not all IDs are represented in the table (ie there is another table with a complete list of IDs...many to one), and multiple IDs can be associated with the same group.
I want to make a form that allows the user to add a new ID/group row, edit an existing ID's "Group," and delete an existing Row. I want the user to see the changes he/she has made. I think there's a way to show a snapshot of the table as part of the form? How do I do all this?

Answer 1

Have you tried a continuous form? You can use a combo to display additional information for each control/field, if that is required.

EDIT re Comment

From your comments and original post, it seems that what may suit is a main form and subform. The subform can be set to prevent editing - it will display the existing groups. The main form will have your combos and buttons.

As to the various types of form, look at the Views Allowed property for the form, you will find:

• Single Form (suitable for main form)
• Continuous Form (suitable for subform)
• Datasheet

Answer 2

Link one table (or query) to the main form and your second table (or query) to a sub form. Drag your sub form onto the main form. Tie the two forms together in properties (sub form) under link master fields and link child fields add the key ID.
