I've been tasked with taking a word doc and converting into an access application.
The issue that I'm having is that the word doc has sections and then below the user can free fill in data.
Ie
What did you do today?
-user entry-
What changes did you make?
-user entry-
etc.
I had thought about having a table that stores the questions, and one that stores the answers as notes and linking the two.
The issue that I see is how do I present to users for them to fill in? I had thought about using tabs, but then I would need a sub-form for each question type. This is so each note/response would be recorded as a record.
I have about 7 question types now, but it may change in the future. Creating 7 different sub-forms, just doesn't seem to be an efficient way to handle this.
Anyone have any suggestions or tackled this kind of project before?
If you need more info or a sample, please let me know.
Thanks,
CT
