Everyone,
Thanks for your help, using everyones advice, I slowed down, took a look at
the Northwind Sample database, and everything began to click. I set up
relationships, built subforms, and queries, and everything is working fine
now. Sorry I was so stubborn, I was just afraid of going the wrong way for
too long. I didn't think everyone knew exactly what I was trying to do. I'm
done with the parts stuff.
I do have a similar problem though. I now have to do the same thing with job
codes. How could I set up a subform to list job codes without having a
computer file listing all of the possibles. All we have is this big book
that lists all of them. It would take forever to input all that in the
computer. I suspect someone from the company we bought out has a file of
them, but I doubt they'd give it to us. I want to be able to list the
appropriate job codes for each claim along with the hours for each, and then
be able to tally the number of times each has appeared.
I have my main claim table called tblClaim with ClaimID as the pk, this table
has several fields for claim info.
I have another table called tblCodesPerClaim with ClaimID as the foreign key
and CodeID as the pk, and Hours.
The last table is tblCodes with CodeID as the pk, and Hours.
I have a one to many relationship set up between tblClaim and
tblCodesPerClaim, and a one to many relationship between tblCodesPerClaim and
tblCodes.
***The tblCodes table has the two fields in it, but they are blank. I don't
have the necessary data in electronic form to fill this table.
Anyway, Thanks for everyones help, and once again sorry for being so stubborn.
All of you were right.
