OK. I looked at it a bit more and here is what is happening. When I select a date from the combo box, tblChild is not being updated with the tblassessment ID, if that makes sense. Is there a way to enable the user to enter the tblassessment primary key into the frmChild?

That works very well! Sadly I don't think it will work for me as things stand now - I seem to be missing the bit that connects tblChild with tblClient. I think I need to mess about with this more before I ask another question. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi everyone! I'm working with three tables: tblclient, tblassessment, tblchild. tblclient is linked one-to-many to tblassessment. tblassessment is linked one-to-many to tblchild. I've got three forms: frmclient, frmassessment, frmchild. What I'd like is when the client opens frmchild...

Thanks very much for the thoughtful replies. I figured out that there was no way to place the data into the main form without making a sub-form - a scenario I don't want. I can leave much of the data in the one table (thank you for suggesting that), but there's so many fields I did have to break...

Thanks very much for your help. It works very nicely!

Argh! I'm screwing up something with my table relationships but I just can't figure it out. Basically, I've got a main table with several tables linked to it via one-to-one relationships. I broke the data into several smaller tables (11, to be precise) so as to keep it manageable. The...

Hi everyone: I've got two tables, TblClient and TblAssessment. I've linked them through clientID. I've placed an Open Form button on FrmClient. It opens FrmAssessment. It works correctly in that clicking the button opens FrmAssessment with the correct clientID. However, it opens to the last...

I'm happy to elaborate. Thank you for your quick response. The db is to collect client assessments made up of many items, such as Housing, Education, etc. Each item is defined by a priority (Primary Concern, Not a Concern, etc) and a Status (In Crisis, Thriving, etc). For every item, the value...

Thanks for the quick response. I agree it could be a mess down the road. Thanks for doing the thinking for me!

I'd like to know if I can autopopulate a numeric field in a table based on the text in another field. For example, TblMain contains two fields: Status and Value. Status field is listbox of values such as Yes and No. I'd like to automatically populate Value field with a number based on the value...

Still very much a newbie at Access, so apologies up front for the raw simplicity of this question. I've got a main table TblMain and a junction table TblJunction with a one-to-one relationship. I'm using TblMain as the form and TblJunction as a subform. Clearly, I'm missing the bit where a...

That is just perfect. Thank you for your quick and very thorough response.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to best structure the tables for the following scenario and I'm hoping you'll have some brilliant ideas. The db is for taking assessments. Each assessment consists of numerous items for which the user must assign a level of importance (i.e., Very important...
