Multiple values in access 2000

1 New Member
I'm used to using 2007 which allows multiple values in the lookup wizard, this helps hugely with my queries as the database i'm building has information on one parent who may have up to 5 kids.

Now i'm building up a similar database in 2000 and could really use some help, 2000 won't allow multiple values in a lookup field which means if I have a parent who has more than one kid I cant store the details, I have a seperate table for both parent and child, each child gets a unique ID which I then link to the parent table with lookup field, i've tried having one ID per household of children (but this causes problems when I want to collate details on age groups and genders etc) and i've tried each child on a seperate ID (which ideally i need) but this means I cannot link up more than one ID with the parent. Is there anything similar to multiple values I can use in 2000?

I think I understand what you are trying to do. What it sounds like to me is that you have a many to many relationship between your Parents table and your Childrens table. This requires a third linking table: ParentChild. In the ParentChild table you have three basic fields: ParentChildID which is the primary key, ParentID and ChildID.

Regards, and welcome to the Scripts!

I need to secure a datawarehouse table at the row level based on 1 to many keys on that table. A user should only see the rows they have access to.

The conditions can be any combination of "and" and "or" operators. I have seen posts (and...

I have a subform which represents a 1:N relationship with the main form. I would like to be able to read values from an external file, fill the subform with the values read & allow the user to view/edit the values via the subform.

Seems this is not possible, or at least I have been unable...

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...
