I have a table consisting of people and their attributes. I would
like to create a relationship matrix table that records the
relationships between the people. So the two tables would look
something like this:
tblPeople
*ID, AutoNumber
LastName, Text
FirstName, Text
Height, Text
Weight, Text
etc...
tblRelationship Matrix
*Person1, Lookup (tblPeople)
*Person2, Lookup (tblPeople)
Relationship, Memo
* - Primary Key
I can't figure out a way to make this table work correctly. I'd like
each combination of two people to be unique. Would anyone have
suggestions on how to do this cleanly?
Thanks,
MW

Mason,
Can you give us a scenario that you are trying to manage with relationships?
Plug some data into the structure, and maybe that will help us and you help
yourself. Give us an example of the rows and columns actually representing
the data?
IE what does Person1 lookup. Person2.Lookup? Is the lookup the ID of
People table?
Data really tells the story!

Join the tables in a query. Just add Person multiple times and alias it.
Sure, Barry. I'll give an example of what's contained in tblPeople.
ID: 1
LastName: Doe
FirstName: John
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175
DOB: 7/7/77
ID: 2
LastName: Smith
FirstName: Lisa
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 150
DOB: 5/5/75
Now the relationship matrix:
Person1: 1
Person2: 2
Relationship: John thinks Lisa is pretty cool, although she's been
weird lately. Everyone in the office makes fun of her weight,
although John only goes along with it half-heartedly.
Person1: 2
Person2: 1
Relationship: Lisa has overheard John call her fat while he was
laughing it up with other coworkers. Already self-consious about her
weight, she strikes back by saying negative things about his work
habits to anyone in a position of influence.
What I don't want:
Person1: 1
Person2: 1
I also want to enforce referential integrity.
I hope that helps,
MW

The database I'm working on is very simple. It pulls from multiple source

I'm using Access 2002, as front-end and back-end as well:

But, still face the same problem: Database corrupted! (But, it allows

2) I found that the relationship linkage between those related

Hello,
I wonder if anyone can shed light on this problem for me. I have an

A third table BusinessRel records the BusinessID (linked to Business

This is what happens when the Business main form is loaded. I enter the

One of our clients recently upgraded their Office version to 2003. When
they tried to run our program (written in Access 2000), they ended up
with the wrong data. My coworker and I have tested this problem and
found that it ONLY occurs on Windows XP machines running Office 2003.
The problem ends up being that ONE 1-to-1 join in ONE query within the
application does not perform as a 1-to-1 join. It acts as though there
is no join at all....

This question probably has been asked many a time. And yet I feel it
is still relevant for one thing a search on this NG does not produce a
desirable answer.
It is kind of disappointing that MS would not be able to transfer ER
relationship from an Access db to a SQL Server 7/2000-based one, the
upgraded db/imported tables sitting on the SQL Server would not have
PKs, say, you have 100 user tables, you have to first recreate PKs for
