solutions wanted History

[tug]

i Have designed a database for a friend who runs a small computer shop, it is for him to use to enter customer names adresses and the fault, solution, parts and price. he wants a box or button that will allow him to see if that customer has been in before and their previous faults. i have found a medical template the uses this but it is loocked so i can not see how it is done. any help would be gratefully appreciated

Can you set up one of the fields (perhaps phone number) as to not allow duplicates?

That way, if the user enters a phone number that is already in there, it will beep at the user and provide a clue that this customer already exists.

And if the customer already exists, you can do a portal for all their transactions.

BTW- do you have a structure of the database? The clients should be in a separate table from their transactions.
