The Management of Customers and Suppliers

Let’s see how to implement card registration data of customers and suppliers in stock in Access program we are creating. In this lesson we will see how to display data of customers and suppliers within a form or a dialog. The form in Access are windows that can be optimized for displaying data to the user program. We see that in design view, as they should be organized within the controls of our windows. The preparation of the controls inside the window (layout) is customizable and can distribute them like everyone wants.

Even formatting, color and font of the text inside controls, is customizable, Access just use the menu “Format“.

To take actions to load the window, or only to respond to user actions, we must work to programmatically in VBA (Visual Basic for Application). In form design view press the button on the toolbar “Code” and we will be screened in a text editor, in which we can create routines with a real programming language. In this tutorial we will see how to create an application to store and we will not dwell on the details of language, concepts that should already be known.
The code necessary to the operation of the masks of customers and suppliers is the same for both masks, having the same controls and same data.

End Sub

The code is very simple to understand, in practice we only need to show a list of banks, titles and address types that double click the control to open a modal window to make changes, insertions and deletions in the list of values.
