Hi all,

I'm fairly new to Access so I'm hopeful this is an easy question. I have a data entry form I've created to keep track of all support requests that come into me with fields that auto populate with location, etc.Currently this form is filling in a table called 2014 Issues and Updates and I'd like to point it to a new table called 2015 Issues and Updates. Is this an easy lift and shift that I'm not thinking of, or do I need to go in and remap all the fields in my form to the new table? Thanks!

Becky

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
If all your field names are the same between the two tables, this should be pretty easy.

- Open the Form in Design View.
- Click on Properties
- Go to the Data tab
- The first Property listed is "Record Source". Change the name of the table you want it linked to here.

Thanks Joe! That did the trick :)
