-------
English - I have a map on a form. A user clicks on a map location and the coordinates are collected. A blank record in a table is created for this purpose. The user's table can have any name. There are many users and each user may create his own table using a create table form I have in the application. Besides coordinates, there is also a need to gather additional information. The Click on the map locates the coordinates for a crime. The details are the date, time, and type of crime, as well as notes which are collected in a memo field. Each location is a record in a table that collects only information about the activities of two or more related crimes. Using a master file of collected past criminal activity, I can run a nn and make a reasonable prediction as to the place, time and date for the next crime. I have most of it running, but this details form problem has me pulling my hare out.
