Making a record with fields from numerous tables in a database

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 141

I want to create a record however I am not using a form because I am taking in different fields from different tables. 

I also have it set up where the user inputs information on one screen then clicks "next" which goes to another screen that allows the user to input even more information how can I make this all work?

    You can still use forms for your scenario.  Forms can get their data from any place you want - including other datasources.

    If you go with a form and you want to split that across multiple screens, then I would recommend reviewing this video on how to split a form properly.

     

    If you are still going to do it all by hand on your own, then you will need to devise the logic for the screens and have one large patch/collect statement at the end to pull all the values from all of the controls into an appropriate record for your datasource.

     

    I'd go with the form as it will eliminate a major amount of work!

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
