Help! I don't know to use HTML and Access. I see Access can do HTML, but I can't figure out how to make this:
I want to show an HTML table with a key as a first column and a Key description as the second. Then, if the user clicks on the key, all the records with the same key are displayed. Example:

(Table 1)
[tt]
Key Description
001 Nuclear Power Plant
007 October 2001 Brief
116 Paper products Facility
[/tt]

(Table 2)
[tt]
Key Detailed Description
001 Structural Analysis in Tank 2
007 How the turbines work
001 Rad monitoring in building 1
116 Paper mixer repair
001 Health check on workers of Area 51
116 Paper dryer annual verification
[/tt]
So you see table 1 and click on "001". A second window (maybe) opens and you see

Nuclear Power Plant
Structural Analysys in Tank 2
Rad monitoring in building 1
Health check on workers Area 51


This is easy in Access using a form and using the values of controls to make a filter string for a data report. But, how can I do that in HTML? Any help? To boldly code, where no programmer has compiled before!
