Queries or Tables?

[jimmy0305]

I have a situation where I can't decide if I should have a report based on two queries or create a report based on multiple tables... My problem is how can I return values in my first condition even if the second condition is met, not met or null.

I tried to making a report based on two queries but it's taking a lot of time. I know there's is a simple way how to accomplish this problem. I would appreciate any suggestions and ideas...

many thanks...

here's the actual example: (Note: Patient_ID are join )

-- FIRST CONDITION --
PatientInfo_TBL
Patient_ID (text)
Last (text)
First (text)
Unit (text)

NonMD_TBL
Patient_ID (text)
Treat-Date (Date)
Modality_Code (text)-cbo
Psychologist (text)-cbo

-- SECOND CONDITION --
DiagMed_TBL (Dx_ID & Mx_ID are join)
Patient_ID (text)
Dx_ID (autoNum)
Mx_ID (Numeric)--> using GenUniqueID()
Psych-visit (date)

Diag_detail_TBL
Diag_ID (autoNum)
Dx_ID (Numeric)
Diag_Code (text)-cbo

Meds_detail_TBL
Meds_ID (autoNum)
Mx_ID(Numeric)
Meds_Code (text)-cbo


In my Query I have :

fieldname : Patient_ID, Unit, Last, First,Treat-Date, Modality_Code, Psychologist, Diag_Code, Meds_Code
Total : All Grouped by except for Treat-Date [Last]
Criteria : Month([Treat_Date]) & [Enter Psycologist]

Have you considered

Query 1 consisting of first condition with a left join to Query 2 which is the second condition.

Thus all records from Query 1 and only those from query 2 that match on the Joining Field

Len B

Could you please give me specific details? I'm still learning access so to speak... Actually, I tried joining the tables but I still can't figure out how can I return all second condition values even if its all null. My primary concern is the first condition. Thanks...

Join either the tables or queries.

Then highlight the actual link line, right click and you can select join properties. If you read these properties you will see exactly what I mean

len

Bingo... you're right.
But I still have a problem... Some still shows all the Diag_Code & Meds_Code... I want to filter and show only the last Diag_Code & Meds_Code if there is...

Thanks again Len...
