Hello all,
I am a new user of Access and have run into some problems. I am building an access form that uses multiple tables. This is what I want to do in lay mans terms. I have a form with 3 sets of combo boxes. The first box I want the user to select a protocol that they wish to display.Next I have 2 combo boxes that display dates.
I have 3 tables, one with the date ranges, one with the protocols and one with all the data. I want the user to select a protocol and 2 dates. I want access to look up the protocol in that date range. Then I want to create a line graph of the data that the user selected. I have tried just using a query with all the data in one table, and have been unable to do it. Any suggestions? Thank you all.

You have posted your question in the Access Articles section rather than the Access Forum section.

James,
Please include the MetaData for all relevant datasets. Here is an example of how to post table MetaData : Table Name=tblStudent - Field; Type; IndexInfo
-
StudentID; AutoNumber; PK
-
Family; String; FK
-
Name; String
-
University; String; FK
-
Mark; Numeric
-
LastAttendance; Date/Time
This will help anyone willing to work with you to understand what your problem is and how to guide you in fixing it.

I was just reading your post about meta labels. I am completely new to access, and am not sure what you were talking about for the labels. Are you talking about the design view for the tables?
Meta DATA is the definition of the tables. What fields (and of which type) are contained within.
If you do a reply to my post, you can copy and paste the text I've used to help you lay it out in exactly the same way.
Access questions are generally very much easier to work with when this information is available. Obviously you need to replace my dummy fields with your real ones. Do this for each table involved in the question.
We have solved this problem in office, but now have another one.... :-(
Thank you for the help.

Hi there
I'm in the planning stages of creating a database, and I have two options
here. Which makes more sense, and/or provides better performance for
queries - a single table with hundreds of thousands of rows, or many
tables with less rows?
GOAL:
Recording information about buildings, storey by storey. Basically I
will be recording six bits of information about each storey in each

Hi there,
I'm currently about to redesign a database which you could compare with a
database for managing a library. Now this solution will not only manage one
library, but 100 to 500 of them. Currently, eg. all the data about the
inventory (books) is held in one table for all the libraries.
Is it useful to spread this to one table for each library, by eg. giving it
an id as a postfix?

Dear experts,
If I have a number of related groups of data (e.g., stock prices for
different stocks) is it better to put them into many tables (e.g., one
table per stock) or into one big table (e.g., a single table where one
column is the stock id other columns are the price and other data)?
The single table approach with a clustered primary key including the
stock id and other information that is different for each stock seems...

Hi,
Maybe my question is dumb, but I'm not sure what is the best approach. I need to build a report and the data is stored in many tables and queries (8 or 9) and I'm wondering if I should build a query to get all my data in one query and build my report based on that query or if I should build my report directly using the data in all the tables or queries.
Thank you
Marie

Hi everybody,
I posted a similar question about 6~12 months ago with no definate answer, so I will give it another go, as the choice has popped up again in my programming life:
If the number of entries is the same is it more efficient (better) to have a single table with many columns, or many tables with few columns? The obvious answer is a single table, because there is less closing and opening tables, but the reason why I ask is what about...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
