Use combobox or list box to go to the record selected on the form

[mvital]

Hi All,

I am not sure if this can be done. I have a standard input form that is filled out by the user. I have gotten a request to have another functionality added. The user wants to be able to enter information for the current record, but if he or she needs to look at another previously entered record and they want to do it by selecting the record_id and have the form refresh itself with the information entered for the selected record_id. For example, I am entering info for record_id 15 and need to look at the information I entered earlier for record_id 1, but I don't want to scroll through each record to get to record 1. I want to be able to select that record from a drop down box and go to that record. What would be the best way to do this if it is not using a combo box or listbox already found on the input form?

thanks in advance,

MV

Does the user wish to keep the current data-entry record and just check record 1? If so, it may be best to provide a pop-up form that asks for the required number on opening.

How are ya mvital . . .

Agree with [blue]Remou[/blue]. [blue]If the user is to maintain their current edited record position[/blue] a popup is the best way to go! . . .

See Ya! . . . . . .
