Hello
Can you instruct me in the exact method on how I could import a small Access database into Tapforms? It is not a flatfile DB. It has several related child tables with one-to-many relationship to a couple of fields in the parent table. Thanks.
Hi Pat,
Tap Forms can’t import an MS Access database unless that database is first exported as a CSV file.
Although Tap Forms is a relational database, it won’t re-link up the data from different tables using values from any fields. So even though you could import each table separately as a CSV file into separate forms, you would have to re-link up the records between your forms manually. At least for now until I can start working on a function to let Tap Forms automatically link records based on the values in fields from the linked forms. But I haven’t started on that yet.
+1 for automatically linking records. I import records from CSV exports from PayPal and would like to link them to a parent form (projects) but for now have to do this hundreds of times manually
Ya. I understand. I need to enhance the Link to Form field function so you can specify an automatic link via a foreign key to another form.
