Hi,
I would like to know how to work with MS Access.
First, my database is for a reservation system. When we confirm a reservation, I click on a tab that says confirmation. On the Form screen I see where I can put my own words, ex: we have confirmed, yadaa yada... But there is also a place that already has words. I need to permanately change those words. Where do I go to find out where those words (i believe its linked as an event) are linked from?
I know this is confusing, im hoping someone can pick through and help me out!  -- Brenna IHA |

you are working with an existing database application and so there is no certain way to answer your question - because the answer depends on how your database was written.
If you can put your Form into Design Mode; then verity its Record Source; which will be a table or query - - and then you can better understand the fields and where data already exists.
If you can not put your Form into Design Mode and/or do not see Tables objects - - you probably want to find the developer for assist.... -- NTC

Open the properties sheet for the form, got to the Data tab, see what is listed under the Record Source property. -- _________
