I work as a console technician for an audio company in the north eastern United States. My job is to prep and manage all of our audio console before they go out on tour.
I would like to build an application to assist in our testing process. Basically all is has to do present the user with a form that has various options and checkboxes. Things like when the console was checked, who checked it, does it have all accessories, and also allow the user to input barcode information from the various parts. After collecting the information, the user hits a submit button and the the data is put into a report that the user can print and tape to the console, indicating that it's checked and has all of it's various pieces.
I have the input form all laid out, etc. I just need help passing data to the report. When I use the report wizard I can't seem to find the proper place to grab the data from the Dataset that is created by the form. How would I go about passing the data from the form to the report?
Also, what is the difference between data sets created in the Design view and ones created by code in the code view? For this project I am manually setting up the Dataset in the code and it doesn't show up in sources like a Dataset created in design view would.
Again, I am very new to programming and apologize for the lame questions. Thanks for all your help!
