Hello everyone!
I'm hoping that someone can offer me some guidance on how to accomplish my objective. What I'm attempting to do is filter out records available in a Reference Field after they've been associated with records in a second table.
I have two tables.
1 – Computers Table
The Computers Table currently includes the text fields Model, Hardware # and In Use which can be set to either Yes or No.
There are three entries currently. The Model is set to Latitude 1234 in each case. The Hardware # is unique (100, 200, and 300). In Use is set to No.
2 – Employees Table
There is only one field currently, the Text field Employee.
I have created a table-to-table relationship where Computers is the Parent Table and Employees is the child Table.
As a result of creating this relationship the Computers – Model field has been added to the Employees Table/Form, which would be correct.
My objective is once I associate Latitude 1234 with Hardware # 100 with an Employee, I don't want it to be listed as a choice in the Related Computer dropdown. Is that possible?
As an example, John Smith is associated with Hardware 100.
And when I add another employee, Latitude 1234 with Hardware #100 is available to be selected. How can I prevent that from happening?
Thank you!
