Generate Many-to-many Relationship

I have a single table called "Books". One column is "Book title" and one is "Author(s)".
One author may have written several books, and one book may be co-authored by several authors.
It should be ok to use the analyze function to normalize the table into 3 tables. (autors, books and booksauthors_xref)
The problem is that the Authors-column contains one or more autors separated by ;
When I use the analyze function I only get the first autor in the join table. Since authors "AA ; BB" are treated as one, not to entities I had to split the field into a "co-autor" column and manually add one and one co author.
Is it a smarter vay to do the normalization?

Hi,
I have the following very general question, but I hope you can give me a few hints so I can start and find things out on my way.
I just created a database which via VBA procedures runs all kinds of queries and puts the results in tables, for instance I have about 20 tables now with 10 fields each and for every table I want to run the same type of report.
I already made one report for one table via the report wizard, I would like to use the layout of this table for all other tables using a VBA code, so when I run this code it will create all these reports for me.
What is the best way to start?
Many thanks!

I have to generate unique code for each person in an Employee table. This code will not be the primary key for this table. Primary key is an auto number. This Unique code is for refering to each person in all the correspondence/document/everywhere and every person will know his code and refer in all the correspondance.
I want to make a column in this table for this code. There can be two criteria for this code generation--
1. The code will be First alphabet of first name followed by sr no for that letter in 4 digits. Say Mr. Andrew is 99th person with alphbet A then his code will be A0099. Or Miss Jany is first person with letter J, her code will be J0001.
OR
2. The code will be a five digit 7 digit number--of which the first 4 digits are year of joining in organisation and remaining 3 digits are joining serial number of this person in that year.Say Mr. Andrew is 12th person who joined in 1996 then his code will be 1996012. Or Miss Jany is 118th person who joined in 2000, her code will be 2000118. For this I will add two columns namely Joining Year and SrNo in this Table.
I want the Access, by some means to generate this code based on the above critaria in one table.Can you people help me with the ideas about achieving this task. Presently we are manually assigning these codes.

I'm a novice in fact this is my first serious try at creating a database. I'm setting up a database to track contracts both potential and active for marketing. This will be converted to a SQL when I have it finished. I have a customer table setup in the fashion of a contact list. Most of my forms need to access the information in it via a list box. I want to set these list boxes to generate a new record in my customer table if the name that is entered is not currently in that list. By using the event option "On not in list" I'm able to get the form for the customer table to open but when the new data is saved and the Customer form is closed the information is not available to the list box. How do I get it to update the list box without having the user start from scratch on that particular form?

Hello all,
Is there a way that I could put a command button on my form and on clicking it, it would generate a word document (I have a word document saved) but on the word document, it would populate the address field with the information on the form. I have about 5 fields on the form that will be used in the word document.
I thought about creating a report in access instead, but I might want to edit the word document manually, is there a way to do this?
Thanks much.

I have a talbe called LOOP in access. The fields in it ar appl,sales_table,title_code,and passalong.
From this table i want to autogenerate sql and run them in a vb function through access.
My first step was crating the sql. I did it using this query.
SELECT "DOCMD.RUNSQL "&"'"&"SELECT tsr,title "&title_code&" ord_time from "&sales_table&"'"
This generates the following vb command:
DOCMD.RUNSQL "SELECT tsr,title,q2_title,ord_time from appl_sales"
The genrated sql will be a insert into query but this is just an example.
Now this will give me the sql that i want. But I have no idea how to get that into a function.
Basically say it generates 10 different vb commands i need that to run as one function. Is there a way to do this through Access and VB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Again,
I have an ID field that I want a custom ID generated based on Name, Phone Number & Record Number.
Here is the code I'm currently using....
'User moved out of supplier name field
Public Sub SupplierName_LostFocus()
If Me.NewRecord = True Then 'If user adidng new supplier
SupplierNameTemp = UCase$(Left$(SupplierName, 3)) 'Store 3 characters from supplier name
End If
nd Sub
'User moved out of suppliers phone number field
Public Sub SupplierPhoneNo_LostFocus()
If Me.NewRecord Then 'If adding a new supplier
supplierPhoneNoTemp = UCase$(Right$(SupplierPhoneNo, 4)) 'Get 4 right characters of phone #
End If
End Sub
I then have a procedure which combines the two strings such as....
Private Sub GenerateSupplierId()
SupplierID=SupplierNameTemp+SupplierPhoneNoTemp
End Sub
The problem is when I check the SupplierPhoneNoTemp & the SupplierNameTemp within the GenerateSupplierID procedure. The contain no information meaning the SupplierID will have nothing as well.
However, when I check SupplierNameTemp within the Public Sub SupplierName_LostFocus() & SupplierPhoneNoTemp within Public Sub SupplierPhoneNo_LostFocus(). They both contain the proper info. It seems they loose this information when moving outside their procedures.
Does anyone know why this would happen & how I could fix this?
Thanks.

I am working on a database for our health services office, which includes a table "Tbl_Patients"
THe Key in this table is a number the office will enter. They have an ID number for existing patients that they will use when they come in.
However, should a new patient come to the office, they would like for the database to assign a new number, the first one starting at 4000.
I would like to put a command button on the new patient form that says "Assign Number" and have that number generated and used as the new ID.
THis may not be real clear, so ask if you have any questions
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically fill the content of a form at runtime. I want, for example, when a user clicks a button, a textbox is dynamically added (but I would prefer not to use hidden objects). I've tried the "CreateControl" option but I can't seem to get this to work. Any coding examples would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi There
Looking to see if there is an easy solution to this problem I have.
I have a table which holds order information, the primary key for this table is orderID which is an autonumber.
The field in question is order number, which has a default value of "JJO"00000, which I have started manually at JJO10001, is there anyway i can get my database to automatically increment this number to save me from keep checking the last order number produced.
Lost count of the number of times I have gave the same order number to numerous customers.
Thanks
