One of my farm livestock app customer wants me to tweak the system so he can
record where every animal
is, and has been while it was on his farm.
..
Example - heifer X was in top shed from 01/01/03 to 01/01/04 then west field
from 01/01/04 to 01/05/04 then etc etc
Cattle could be in groups of 30 or 40 but individual animals may not always be
in the same group.
So - Would appreciate thoughts on how best to to tackle this.
TIA

David,
Your database should track when an animal changes groups and where each group is
every day. Then you can determine on any date what group an animal was in and
where that group was at. Knowing where the group was at gives you where the
animal was at.

Thanks for the reply.
I had the concept figured out, I was looking for neat ideas on how to move
groups between
fields and move animals to a different group.
I am thinking the table for this will be something like
animalrecno
fieldid

indate

David,
I don't think your table will work; you're trying to use indate and outdate for
two purposes, moving groups from field to field and moving animals from group to
group. How about tables like these:
TblAnimalField
AnimalFieldID
AnimalFieldName
TblAnimal
AnimalID
AnimalNum
TblGroup
GroupID
GroupNum
TblAnimalInGrou p
AnimalInGroupID
AnimalID
GroupID
GroupInDate
GroupOutDate
TblGroupInField
GroupInFieldID
FieldID
GroupID
FieldInDate
FieldOutDate

David,
You might consider using two multiselect listboxes to move animals from group to
group. The listboxes would work like the listboxes for the wizards where you
pick fields. On your form you would use a combobox to first choose the group you
want to move animals to.The left listbox would list all your animals and you
would build your list of animals to move to the selected group in the right
listbox. After you have built your list in the right listbox, you would have
code behind a button to move all the animals in the right list to the selected
group.
Something similar could be done to move groups to fields.

I was thinking along those lines myself. So would the right listbox need to be
based on a temp table
or is there another way.
