The Receipt Form, part 1

The Receipt Form is an interesting challenge. The Receipt combines most of the Tables in this database: Who (tblCustomer), Bought (tblMovieRented) What (tblMovies). The Receipt Form represents a one-to-many relationship: one customer gets many movies. So, there will be a Form and Subform.

In Receipt Form, part 1, the focus will be on the ReceiptSubform. This Form will list the movies rented. This is the "many" part of the one-to-many relationship: many movies.

 

This Subform will be formatted as a Table, which is the way online forms and webpage are designed. You may notice that the Arrange Tools in Microsoft Access are very similar to the Table Tools in Word or Excel.

 

In Receipt Form, part 2, we will design the Receipt Form so Users can find a customer by a phone number. The Form and Subform will be linked by common Keys and tested.
