Table stuctures in Access

6 New Member
I am creating a database for my company that holds different seminars, often done by different people. those are my 2 variables, but also, each seminar is rated with a sheet, that rates the seminar in various ways (1 to 5) as well as the presenter. how can i relate all of this data in Access, how many tables should i be using, and how can i set it up so i can take averages of the presenter's ratings, as well as take avearges of the specific seminar's ratings? I kind of understand how to query things, but the basic setup of the database is my problem. Right now i have a Presenter Table, which only has a name and a presenter ID#, a Seminar table, which has only a seminar name and seminar id #, and an evaluations table, which has an Evaluation id#, as well as all of the evaluations for both the presenter and the seminar. Is this set up correctly, do you need a more specific example? any help i can get would be greatly appreciated.

Do i do a foreign key just by linking the presenter ID from tblPresenter to presenter ID in the Evaluation table in the relationships window? Also, where would I implement taht SQL code, or could i do the same type of commands with the report wizard? Sorry for all the questions, i really appreciate all of the help!

How do i set a "composite primary key?" it wouldn't let me set multiple primary keys.

It won't let you select each individually but if you select both of them together and then set the primary key

To make a foreign key relationship.

Firstly, in tblPresentedSem inar go to the fields PresenterID and SeminarID and set the Indexed Property to Yes (Duplicates OK). It may already be set if you have set the composite primary key.

Then, open the relationships window and create a relationship between PresenterID in tblPresenter and PresenterID in tblPresented Seminar. Now double click on the line to open the relationship properties window. Tick all three check boxes. Now do the same for SeminarID.

Also, where would I implement taht SQL code,
If you mean the last query I gave you then open a new query in design view (don't bother adding any tables) and then go up and change the view to sql view. Just copy in the code and save.

I'm not sure what you mean by this but lets leave reports alone for the moment. It's imporant to get the structure right first.

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.
