Hello. I am using vs2010 with c#. Currently I have a winform that is used for adding to a lookup style tables. The form uses a tab control with a tab for the different tables with using a datagridview to show the info. There have been a few of us discussing on how a feature like this should be done, the method above, a form for each table, or use sql server management studio. An example is the shipping method. Can't know all the different carriers a client (or us) might use. Just had one new client using "client pickup" since they are 3 blocks away and they come and get the shipment. So client pickup had to be added thru sql server mgt studio. Not a good method in my opinion. The database currently has 607 tables (and counting) with about 60 tables used as lookups, which is also likely to increase. Should mention the "and counting" is because this project is beginning from scratch with a new app that will phase out about 4 older apps, as well as eliminating those that came from several companies that have been taken purchased.
So, I am wondering how or what others do to accommodate this need for a record to be added to a lookup table?
Thanks....John
