    Normalization Help needed

    Why using three tables as you only need one? And why would you delete employee data? Here's the columns I'd suggest; EmployeeID (auto number) EmployeeName PIN StartDate EndDate If it happens or could happen that an Employee is re hired, you'd like to move the StartDate and EndDate to a...

    Customer & Supplier - what if they are both?

    No splitting done by yours sincerely ;) It's simply how the database comes... As compared to? I've seen plenty of worse designs in my career, trust me :D I can't imagine that a world leading company on ERP systems and databases malpractice their designs for no good reasons... RV

    Customer & Supplier - what if they are both?

    I happen to work with ORACLE systems and customer and supplier data indeed is split up into separate tables. So the concept does not always necessarily apply ;) RV

    Convert text field to number field but keep leading zeros

    There's absolutely no reason why you would require leading zeros for sorting purposes. On the contrary, you're much better of without them if you want to sort. Reason being that you would like to convert text to number in order to sort by number. If you insist on using leading zeros, search the...

    Before update

    How do you trigger it though By putting code in it. If it's not triggered then the code conditions are not met. If you expect the code to be triggered and it isn't, well, then your code is incorrect ;) RV

    Get more values in one text box

    Won't let me create relationship

    What you need to do is to add foreign key colums to your "many" tables. Otherwise you can't build any relationships at all. I suggest you do a bit of reading on how relational databases work. Also, do read up on normalization as I don't think your current table structure is appropiate. RV

    SQL to select all records, including blanks

    Gary, what you're actually saying is that this is what you need: SELECT * FROM bqryVolunteers WHERE bqryVolunteers.[Organisation] Is Not Null; RV

    Security - allow Query building, but not Table building/modification

    You could set up security and permissions. I strongly advise you not to even consider giving users direct access to queries. This will enable users to screw up your table data. RV

    Report based on query

    If your query doesn't return any results, my guess is that you're using INNER joins. Try changing them into either RIGHT joins and/or LEFT joins. If the table structures are similar, use one table instead. My wild guess is that your applic is not normalized. Which sooner or later will result...

    Making Invoice

    What is required to be stated on your invoice is determined by tax regulations. Which differ from country to country, perhaps even from state by state (USA) You better consult someone who's familiar on this rather specific area. Or ask around in you company, or search on Internet. What is quite...

    Removal of Image

    So tell me, why was the image (or rather the link) removed? I don't think anything illegal went on here as in. Apart from the fact that "inappropiate" is a rather subjective opinion :D Must be a nice job, surfing the Internet and actually getting paid for it. On the other hand, perhaps not...
