Hi All,
I'm trying to add hidden information to a record and need to know the best way to do it.
I have a visible table that all users enter data into using a form.
I also have a hidden table that contains 2 fields "linked Table ID" and "notes"
I have a box at the top right of my form which is white (I also have a white background so it's impossible to see).
When you click the box it changes a textbox on my form visible property from false to true.
then I plan to use a separate button that the user currently uses to save a record to store ID number and hidden textbox information in the hidden table but I'm sure how to do this.
Finally I will use a hidden query which will display all the fields from both tables using the linked Table ID from the hidden table and ID field from the non hidden table.
So i have 2 questions:
1 how do I save information the user entered into a form created from one table into a different (hidden) table
2. Is this the right approach to this problem?
Cheers
Steve
