Duplicate Addresses

Hi,

I'm designing a database for a small removal company.

The information we need includes the customer's contact address, the
address they're moving from and the address they're moving to.

I currently have the contact address in the Customers table, the from
and to addresses in seperate tables (FromAddresses & ToAddresses) and
a Moves table linking the three together.

One problem is that the contact address is usually the same as the
from address, but I have to allow for the fact that they might be
different. This means that most of the time we will be entering the
same information twice, which is something I'd like to avoid.

Can someone suggest a good way to handle this situation?

Thanks,

Richard

In the AfterUpdate event of each field for the ContactAddress enter the
following code.

If IsNull(Me!FromA ddress) Then
Me!FromAddress = Me!ContactAddre ss
End If

Change the FromAddress and the ContactAddress with the names of the fields
on the form. If you have a City field use
If IsNull(Me!FromC ity) Then
Me!FromCity = Me!ContactCity
End If

After you enter anything in the contact address field and the from address
has no value, the from address field will be filled automatically with the
value of the contact address.

I just put together a PHP mailing list sign-up page that posts to a mySQL DB. The PHP script prevents INSERTs when the email address is already located in the database. Problem: I need to import some flat-files that stored the signups, prior to this new form. Email addresses weren't checked, so there are a lot of records that have the same email address. Once I import these into the table, how would I go about putting together a SQL...

Can I set it up so that a certain combination of fields can't contain the same entries, on another record? e.g. a combination of FirstName/LastName/address? Or FirstName/LastName/phone? Or FirstName/LastName/email? Or is it possible to allow this but to throw up an alert message? Warning that this person is probably already in the database? TIA

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
