I have three tables: one stores the questions, one stores the possible answers, one stores the customers actual answers to the questions.
How do I create a form which:
Shows the customer details plus all of the questions and then all possible answers for each question.
I'm not sure if I have created the tables correctly (they all have relationships which I've successfully tested with a query). Or perhaps it's a problem with the form. When I create a main form showing customer name, company etc and have a subform with the questions and answers it will show all customer records and any questions they've answered.
What I want instead is the form to show:
Only the customers that have answered questions - ie previous respondents, which may not be all customers.
For new respondents - to be able to type in the customer ID and have the form display the customer details AND a complete list of questions (not just the one's they've answered, since they haven't answered any!) and a list of possible answers (related to each question)which I can choose from.
My other problem is displaying only the right set of answers for each question - it's a multiple choice where you can only choose one answer. Do I need to create a separate table for the answers to each question and link it via a question id?
You're help is much appreciated - I know there's a lot of different issues here, so thanks, in advance!
