Combining fields from different tables into the same column on a listbox
Hi Everyone,
I hope I'm posting in the right place, I've been trying to solve my problem using queries so I thought it might be appropriate here.
I have a database for a health care service which contains among others the following four tables...
Table 1 contains client details, primary key [ClientID] plus other client details.
Table 2 contains Episode of care details, primary key [EpisodeofcareID], [episodeofcareDate] etc...
Table 3 contains all test results for assessment 1, primary key [CoreID], [CoreDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 4 contains all test results for assessment 2, primary key [HonosID], [HonosDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 1 is linked to Table 2, and Table 2 is linked to both Table 3 & 4.
I have set up a search procedure whereby the user enters a clients name which then opens a list box of all clients with that name. When the client selects from the listbox I want a second listbox to open which has three visible columns. One giving the date of each episode of care for the client, the second giving the date of each assessment completed and the third giving the name of the assessment carried out.
I'm managing to get the date of the Episode of Care to display on the first visible column but I'm getting stuck on the next two. This would seem to involve somehow combining data from different tables into individual columns on the listbox. For example I need the second visible column on this listbox to list all the dates of assessments for the chosen client from tables 3 & 4. (e.g. [CoreDate] and [HonosDate]). Column three would then give the title of the assessment next to the date in column two. None of the tables have a field listing titles as this is determined by which table the data is entered into. I've been trying to solve this by queries without much success.
Could anyone give some ideas as to how I could solve these problems?
Many Thanks
John
