Hello
I am a real newbie to all of this and would really appreciate any advice. I shall try to describe my problem step by step...
- I have two tables, Table 1 and Table 2. I use the Add Page for Table 1 to enter usernames and passwords for specific managers and then use the print
page for Table 1 to generate a letter to these managers informing them of what their usernames and passwords are. (I am asking them to provide me with
feedback basically)
- The managers recieve their letters and use their usernames and passwords to access specific data in Table 1. On this page however is also a link to the
ADD page for TABLE 2 and the managers use this page to submit feedback data to TABLE 2
- When the manager hits this link the ID Number from Table 1 (Table 1 contains their username and password so in a sense is a "Lookup" table) is
automatically entered into thier corresponding record in Table 2 and this is how the records in Tables 1 and 2 are linked
I am not the only person however who enters data into Table 1 - there are others as well - (We are doctors asking managers for feedback on advice we have given them). I would like each doctor to be automatically e-mailed each time a manager replies. The doctors' e-mail adresses are present in Table 1, but not in Table 2, which is the table to which managers are submitting their feedback. What I want to do basically is...
- Create a field in Table 2 named "Doctor's E-Mail" (There is a "Doctor's E-Mail" field in Table 1 which is automatically populated when a doctor is
logged in, enters a new manager UN and PW and requests advice)
2 Assign a "default value" for the Doctor's E-Mail field in Table 2 which is determined by
-Looking at the ID Number in Table 2
-then looking for the corresponding ID Number in Table 1
-then looking for the corresponding E-Mail Address in the Doctor's E-Mail field in Table 1
- Automatically enter the corresponding Doctor's E-Mail address in Table 1 into the Doctor's E-Mail address in Table TWO so that this field can then be used
as the "User E-Mail" Field in the project for Table 2
Basically what I am trying to do is to get fields in a record in one table to automatically reflect the values in related fields in another table but am unsure of the VB Script (Sorry - not unsure - don't have a clue). I have used the " Session("_" & strTableName &"_OwnerID") " thingy to automatically fill in fields in Table 1 depending on which doctor is logged on, but do not know how to modify this further.
I really would appreciate any help that anyone could give me, although on reading what I have just typed I am indeed dubious as to whether anybody will actually understand what my problem is, let alone know how to solve it!
Many Thanks.
Con.
