Editing information in a form and linking to a table

[andy.scheurer]

Hi everyone.

Just started using Access to manage some data for a project. Here's
the background:

-I get leads everyday from a client in excel
-I format and import that data from excel to access
-In Access right now I have all that data in a table; I edit it
throughout the day (primarily dates, yes/no questions, etc.)

There are some many things I'd like to do with Access (and excel, but
that's a different group), so, let me start basic.

I'd love to view and edit all the information from the table in a form
(it is a 'wide' bunch of data and it would be easier to view and edit
a lead on one page versus a scrolling line). I can create a form no
problem, but my realy issue is getting what I edit in the form to
appear back into the table (mainly so I can export back to excel from
the table).

Thoughts and advice? I'll be back with more questions!

Thanks,
Andy

Ok, answered my own question. Apparently, I wasn't getting "off" the
record so it could update it in the form.

Wow.

Maybe I'll come up with a real question this afternoon!
