Copy data from one record to a new record on a sub form
I have a form showing patient details with a sub form displaying all associated referral details for the patient. One patient can have more than one referral and I would like to be able to copy data from some of the fields on the current referral when adding a new referral for the same patient. Is this possible?

Thank you for your help
I am fairly new to Access code and I am having some problem following your
suggestion could you please simplify. Also some of the fields on the referral
records are selected via a combo box will these fields still copy?

Add a specific Record to a Table based on a check box
I have a Table called ServiceTypes. Based on a User's input on a ProposalForm, ServiceTypes need to be added to a ProposalServicesTable. For instance, I have a Check Box on the ProposalForm. When a Check Box is clicked Yes, Access must search the ServiceTypes Table, select a specific ServiceTypeID, and add the ServiceType to the ProposalServicesTable. How can I add the proper Service record from the ServiceTable to the ProposalServicesTable based on the Check Box? I wouldn't do it that way. I'd use a listbox (with multi-select set to YES) that was sourced to the ServiceTab...

Using different form strings to filter
Hello. Is there a way to code a query to have it use a filter string if a form is open, or ignore it if the filter is not open?

Do you need Access to use an Access Database for data entry only?
We have an Access database completed. Now we will use it for reading as well as for data entry. Do we need to install Access for every workstation needing the database for data entry or reading? No you don't necessarily need Access on every computer. You CAN use the Access Runtime and if it is in Access 2007 you can use it for free.
