Hi all
I have been working on this project now for 4 months and is still no further than the first step. This is driving me to suicide.
As a testing database I have set up the following:
Table 1(Clients) :
ClientID
Firtsname
Lastname
HouseNumber
Streetname
Town
Postcode
HomePhone
MobileNumber
Email
Tabel 2(Treatments) :
TreatmentID
Treatment
Cost
Date
Now I am not sure how to relate these tables . I also want to set up a tabbed form and on the first page only enter new client details but then on the second enter any treatments for existing clients. Now how do you link a specific treatment to a client?
After 4 months I should know how to do this, but I think I have gotten myself into such a muddle I dont know left from right and plus we have just upgraded to Access 2007.
Thanks for any advice.

Yip no problem. I will hold myself back and let you get on . I will go back to the post in question and get you all the details you asked for. Wont be long....
Right I had a look at that datbase again. Must say the bit I emailed you does not really have much on it. But from that, the problems are as follows:
When using TestFrom to select Client , Treatment,Cost and Date, upon saving a new entry, the selected date is not entered into the Treatments table. It is just blank in the table.
The second thing is that I cannot see anywhere in the tables how a treatment, cost or date is related to a specific client( One client can have multiple treatments) after making a entry on the TestForm.
This would of course be a problem when it comes to creating reports.
The form to add a new client works fine, no problem with that one.

The database was actually posted to explain how you couldn't get the FullName made up from the FirstName & LastName fields to work.
When I opened up the database I found that they did all work (as far as I could see but there was more than one form in it so I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted me to look at).
Am I to understand now that this is no longer a problem. It's what I've been focusing on the whole way through (As I mentioned before I never like to build on sand so I can't move on from one point unless it's resolved otherwise confusion surely follows). Help me to understand what the current status is and how we got there.
Hi Neopa
You are right, it is working now!! Dont know what I did to make it work, but when I tested it before I sent it through to you, I could not get it working. Well, I am not going to mess around with it just in case it pops again. So yes I think that issue is solved then.
But I tried to use this function, but could not get any treatment,cost or date bound to this concatenated name. I dont know how to link this to it's corresponding ClientID.
Do you prefer me close this thread now that the main issue seems to be solved and start a new one for the other issue relating to this as above?

That's up to you at this stage.
Normally I would say yes, but I'm happy to continue guiding you onwards in here if that's preferable for you.
You already know how demanding I am about clear communication so I'll leave it up to you ;)
Neopa
I do agree with your principles on posting, so what I will do is close this post as the main issue has been solved ie. Concatination of first and last name.
What I will do though is post a new thread, but do what I tried in the latter part of this post( before I got told off :-) ) and post you the database I have updated and am now at a point where I am stuck.
Does that sound ok? That way we start a new thread with a new issue.....

That sounds eminently sensible my friend.
As a favour (so I can catch up with it before I would otherwise get up that far), can you post a link to the new thread here when you've set it up.

Hi NeoPa
Here is the link to the new thread :

OK, so I didn't refresh my browser (again) before posting.
Seems you read my mind anyway :D

I'm creating relationships between tables using VBA and ADOX. I can
create one-to-one relationships with an inner join, but I can't figure
out how to create these relationships with an outer join (specifically
a left outer join). I'm including the code that creates the
relationships with the inner join. Any help or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am working on a project in access 2000, Whilst I already have a table
called client and seems to be related with other tables ,I tried making

3- Is it the same table as client?
4-can I remove One of them?

Is there really any advantage to using DIV elements with float style
properies, vs. the old method of TABLE and TR and TD?
I'm finding that by using DIV, it still involves the same number of
elements in the HTML to get everything just right. When you consider
the class attribute on the DIV elements, there's not much size savings
anymore for using DIV.
There are other disadvantages to not using TABLE/TR/TD, such as the

Hi all,
I have a situation where I have a split database. At the back end, I
need to
- create a new table (I will call it newTable) with the exact fields,
and relationships as another table (let's call it oldTable, and I need
to copy everything EXCEPT the data).
- Then I need to delete oldTable, and rename newTable 'oldTable'
