ABC: Updating a Table in Form when browsing a SQL view 1998-10-24 -- Jerry Norman Newsgroups: topspeed.products.c4
>Is there any way to browse one file but have the form update another?
I've done this in ABC. Here's what you will need to do.
1. Pass the highlighted View record's primary key as a parameter from the
browse to the update procedure.
2. In the update procedure (which has the file rather than the view in the
"Update record on disk"), after files are opened embed something like this:
MyF:MyFileId = MyPassedViewId
Access:MyFile.Fetch(MyF:PrimaryKey)
