What would you prefer - a dialog form or a subform?<br />
<br />
Or can you provide steps on when the invoice form display.<br />

I'm enough of a newbie that I don't know the difference. &nbsp;(My background is mostly hardware, systems engineering - trying to move into software).<br />
<br />
It's for a non-profit org that does community based support for small businesses. &nbsp;They have a lot of volunteers who get no real training, so something simple, intuitive.<br />
<br />
A form that would have a combo or list box to select the (already existing) contract name, then fields to enter the new invoice might be the way to go.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I think I just need general guidance at this point.<br />
<br />
Need a form to create a new invoice, and attach it to a particular contract.<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
Form to Add an Invoice.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Contract: Aloha Trust Co. &nbsp; Invoice Amt: &nbsp;$100.00<br />
<br />
tblContractName is a table with ContractNameID as primary key<br />
tblInvoices is a table with ContractNameID as foreign key<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
