Display Managers and Employees Database

[JP SIngh]

Hi All

I am in a very tricky situation wonder if you anyone can help.

We have a table where we store employee information. One of the fields in
the table stores the manager number which is the employee number of the
users manager. Sample data is below

EmpNo Name ManagerNo
2211 Peter 9900
8899 James 9900
9900 Mel 9111
9901 Ian 9111
9111 Simon 9111

I want to able to display all the employees who report to a certain manager
and also all the employees who report to them

Something like

Simon
Ian
Mel
Peter
James

I am sure this can be done but I don't know how to do it recursively. Can
help guys?

recursive looping.
It's your basic tree building. I have a sample or two on my site but start

Thanks Curt but we don't store the level numbers as in your example of
forums so it is slightly difficult to modify your code to get to our
solution.

WOuld you or anyone else be kind enough to write some code to crack this. We
have been trying to do this for the last 3 months without success.

The idea is the same, you have a function that passes in a parameter. This
function calls itself from within the loop.
Asking people to write it for you isn't the best way to go about it, trying
and then posting when you get stuck is preferred.

So some searching on Recusion or Recursive calls, and you should find more
on this.

Start by telling us what database you use. Also, where are you having
the problems, retrieving the data or displaying it?

Besides, a quick Google of the groups probably finds your answer here:

Group it as followed.

Dim iOldManagerNo as integer
Dim oEmpRs as RecordSet

Set oEmpRs = oConnection.OpenRecordSet("SELECT * FROM From Employee Order By
ManagerNo")
IF not oEmpRs.EOF

'- First Group.
Print ManagerNo Group

Do While oEmpRs.EOF

if oEmpRs!ManagerNo <> iOldManagerNo then
iOldManagerNo = oEmpRs!ManagerNo
Print ManagerNo Group
End if
Print EmpNo, Name

Loop

End if
oEmpRs.Close
Set oEmpRs = Nothing

Good Luck..!
