Null fields

I have an Access 2000 database that has a table 'tblCourse' and a
table 'tblRegistratio n'.

They are linked via a Primary key 'CourseID' in 'tblCourse' to a
foreign key 'CourseID' in the tblRegistration , this is a one to many
relationship. The Primary key in the tblRegistration is
RegistrationID.

When I construct a query that has 'CourseID' and then e.g.
"CountRegistrat ionID:
IIf(IsNull(Coun t([tblRegistration].[RegistrationID]),0,
Count([tblRegistration].[RegistrationID]))" as the two fields, it will
not include the courses that have no registrations in them.

What I am wanting to obtain is a list of 'all' the courses including
the ones that don't have any registrations in them.

Do you have any ideas as to how to do this, or is it not possible?

Frustrated.

Perhaps I am missing something, but can't you count the Courses in
tblCourse? It'd seem to me to be awfully difficult to count
non-registrations in the Registration table, unless you preallocate a record
per seat in each class or something.

What kind of join are you using between the tables? It needs to be an outer
join. In the query design window it would have an arrow pointing towards the
table that might not have matching records. Double-click the line to change it.

How about a Totals Query, grouped by Course, joined with a Query of the
Course table, "all records from Course and only those that match from the
Totals Query", and a calculated field of NZ(CountOfRegis trations)?

What do I need to do to allow an append query to post null values to records in a field of the destination table? Basically I want to allow records with null values to post to the table. The append query will not work unless there are values in the data i am attempting to send. I want the fields in the destination table to accept null and populated values. Any help here would be gladly accepted. thanks

I'm fairly new to C# and I am having some problems understanding int variables and null values. I have created a class that populates the values of it's fields from a DataReader in it's constructor. Those fields are modified during various methods in the class. One method updates the database with the values of the class fields. I have everything working fine for string fields but am running into problems with integers and null values.

Hello! I have a form that is calculating averages as follows: " =(NZ()+Nz()+Nz())/3 " However I need to now adjust for null values , so for example if value2 is null I would then need to base my average on just 2 values instead of 3 i am currently using in my string. How can i have the form update the "3" based on the number of values that are populated?
