MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2008

Tip: Looking for answers? Try searching our database.

Want to display one field from a query, on a form -- unbound control?

I have a very carefully designed query that pulls from 7 different
tables to get the information that I need for a form. Referential
integrity is enforced, so it is still editable.

However...I was asked to add one additional piece of data ([Current
score]) to my form. The new data item comes from a crosstab query.
Although the crosstab query includes an indexed field ([Question
Name]) that I could join to the rest, it would show up but make the
form uneditable.

I think I can make this work, but I don't know how to refer to a table
that's in the database but not part of the source for the form. I've
searched, and it looks like an unbound control is what I need, but I
don't understand what properties I need to change. There is one for
Control Source, but wouldn't I need two at minimum -- one to look up a
value, and one to say which matching row to return once it finds a
matching value? I'm puzzled...

Thanks,
Rachel Garrett

Crosstab queries are not editable. If you join them to other tables or
queries it will cause them to be uneditable. Could you build a query from the
original information you used to make the crosstab and query out of that? I
think that might be the simplest to do.
