Hi! I am new to this list, and fairly new to Knoda as well. I am trying to create a database for managing qualitative data in a social science research project (if anyone has similar tools, I'd be very interested in sharing ideas).
Now I have run into a design problem: I would like to be able to use a button on one form (where details about a sound file are entered and managed) to open another form (where I create a memo connected to a particular sound file), and in the new form, inherit some values from the first form. Is there a way to do this? More specifically, the first form relates to the table "files", with the values ID_file, filname, setting, date and some more columns. The second form relates to the table "memos", with columns ID_memo, memodate, memotext, file (which is where ID_file from files table are to be stored). What I would like is a button on the files form, that 1. opens the memo form 2. creates a new entry 3. sets the value ID_file as the value for the "file" field in the memo form. 4. then lets me set the date for this entry, and type in the text in the memo, then store the new row. I have succeeded in creating a button that opens a new form, thus I can open the memo form from the files form. But how do I accomplish 2-3 above? Any advice warmly welcome.
