Need Opinion On Table Structure For Bowling Db
Apr 20, 2006
I have attached a word doc showing my table relationships. I would like an opinion on as to whether it is normalized correctly. It is for a bowling league that has 10 teams and 50 bowlers. The team names, lane assignments will change every year and the bowlers will be on a different team from season to season.
Also the tblScores is set the way it is because some bowlers will show up late or injure themselves so because of the awards that are handed out at the end of the year for high scores, perfect attendance etc. this is how I thought it would work best.
I wanted to make sure before I put all the bells and whistles in. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
Could someone please share their opinion with me on the following:
I have a database with a Table which stores People's details, e.g. ID, Name, Surname, ...., etc (e.g. tblPeople) .
Now I have people filling out a questionnaire, of which the results I want to save in an Access table. Each person will fill out this questionnaire only once. The number of fields I will need to accomodate the answers to questions asked, is around 120. For example, an answer to Question1 will appear in a field called Q1.
I know that the limit for fields in a table are 255, and my total fields in tblPeople so far are about 20.
Should I keep Q1 and all other fields in the same table as tblPeople, or create another table to hold all answers and create a one-to-one relationship between tblPeople and tblQuestions&Answers ?
Can someone give me a tip, in particular if this will cause performance problems?
I appreciate your effort for reading this.
Kind Regards,
Jean

I was contacted today by a staffing agency and was told that I looked like a good fit for a Data Analyst position. The agency and wanted some more information about my resume and wanted me to email them my references. Next step I would assume would be an interview.
I did want to post the responsibilities of the job and see if other DBAs thought it looked like entry level work. The only thing I know about the company is that they are automotive and pay is under 40K. I have been trying to break into IT for the past few months and this looks like a great opportunity. :) I appreciate your comments.

hi,
If I just want to display a relationship between two tables or more with a form and a subform, and I don't want the users to edit/delete/add the data - just view it. What is the best way - queries, bound forms etc? I created a form with a subform, but then ran into problems because I don't want them to be updated, only viewed.
Thank you !!!

I have a table that contains 4 columns: index (w/ auto generating number), timestamp, current user, and notes. The notes column is a Memo data type and is used to capture free-form notes typed into a text box.
I would like to display all notes typed by a specific user and do it in a single control, preferably a text box. This way someone can look back over time and review all the notes they typed / added to this table. Is it possible to display multiple rows from a table in a single text box or do I need to use a list box?

Hello Everyone
I am looking to build and Overtime tracking form and have been pondering on the design of it. Here is my idea and not sure how I should go about doing it (straight forms and tables or queries). I would like to select my employees in a combobox and have their information autofill the remaining fields and/or add new ones. Additionally have fields that I can input any overtime occurred which would be stored in a seperate table but displayed in a sub-form in datasheet view. These fields that were just filled out with the overtime information would clear everytime the add record button is hit.
I know that sounds like alot and sure I can muddle my way through that part of it, the big question I have is do I need a seperate table for every employees overtime? Or is there code/query that can select the records of the selected employee and display the information that pertains just to them?
Has anyone come across or posess a sample database similar to this? If not can someone point me in the right direction for example code and tutorials?
I look forward to hearing from everyone on this.
Thank You
Jaz

I'm trying to copy the structure of a table to make a temp table. I'm using CopyObject (which also copies the data). So when I delete the data from the temp table, it also deletes data from the source table. Is the data linked? It should just be deleted from the temp table. Below is the beginning of the code. I've stepped through, and at the last step shown, the data in the source table deletes.
Code:
Dim strFile As String
Dim temp As String
Dim tbl As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
' error handle
On Error GoTo F_Error
[Code] .....

I realize that this issue has likely been beaten to death in past threads; my recent participation in one brought this issue to light.
Can I get a general feeling from participants concerning the dangers involved in the practice of compacting and repairing databases on a server? I greatly respect the advice I get from these forums, and those who give it, however there seems to be some disagreement between people on this issue.
If there is a danger of loosing records, why does this occur? Are there versions of Access where these problems are solved? Do you think that frequency of use, or volume of data have anything to do with the risks?
Thank you all!

Here’s a little scenario:
An engineer requests that “x” amount of computers are ordered for the company. The estimated costs of the system(s) are determined. The estimated cost of the systems is forwarded to a manager, and the request must be approved by a manager before the order is placed. Once the manager approves the request, the order is placed through the ordering company. After the ordering company approves the order, an order number is assigned and serial number(s) specific to each computer is associated with that order number. At this point it is possible to track the order status via existing programs using the assigned order number and serial numbers. After it is determined through the existing software that the order has been shipped, invoiced, and received by the Receiving department, I need to physically go pick up the systems and submit them into my Central Inventory. From the central inventory, systems will be checked out to employees as needed, checked back in when testing is finished, or transferred internally between employees......

I have been reading up on normalizing table structures. I have this database that I am working on, to work as a hiring database. It should hold information about people applying to the law firm I work at.
I am looking for advice on if this table structure is normalized and sound. I am also looking for specific help on creating good forms.
Thanks for any help that can be given!
ps. I am attaching a zip that has a jpg view of the tables and their relationships, as well as the db with the table structure.
I would love any and all advice. I want a very clear concept for this db before I do anything!
Thanks again!
:D

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about this... and I couldn't come up with the best explination. Hopefuly someone here can point me in the right direction.
He has a table
Recipies(Id, name, item1, quantity1, item2, quantity2, item3, quantity3, item4, quantity4)
I don't believe that this is the proper way to create a table. What happens if you happen to come across a Recipie that needs 6 items?? or more??
After researching it, I believe it violates 2NF. Is this correct?
Instead I think a better structure would be
Recipies(Id, name)
RecipiesIngredients(Recipies.ID, Ingredients.ID, quantity)
Ingredients (Id, Name)
The problem my friends sees with this method is the fact that the Xref table will get giant.
In the example... Speed is of utmost importance, as the tables will most likely contain thousands of records and be queried against frequently.
Thanks for any input.

I need some help trying to setup tables on a new database. I want to setup a house analysis database where I can evaluate each room for it’s condition broken down by feature. I can’t seem to figure out a good way to tie all the rooms and evaluations back to that house’s address (primary key). I want the fields to work as shown below with the room evaluations tracked to each room and house address. If possible I would like to be able to enter the as many room names as needed for each address.
House Address
Bedroom 1______________Bedroom 2_______________Bathroom 1
Ceiling condition –Good____Ceiling condition-Fair____Ceiling condition- Good
Floor condition – Fair______Floor condition – Fair____Floor condition - Fair
Wall condition – Good_____ Wall condition – Bad____Wall condition - Good
Can someone please explain to me how I should structure the tables to work. As a novice Access programmer I am out of ideas. Please help me!!

What's the best way to setup this db?
I have the following information:
Company
Company ID
Program A
Program B
Program C
Program D
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
The years indicate the year the Program participated in the company. For example, Program A participated in Company Z from 2000 to 2005, Program D participanted in Company Z from 2001 to 2002.
Should I have a table with the Companies and Program A and the years from 2000 to 2005
and a table for the Companies and Program B and the years, etc? I was going to add a yes/no field for each program, too. There must be a simplier way.
I want to be able to query participation of workers in any of the programs.
What is the best way to set this up?
Thanks.

I've got some tables, and I want to make sure I relate them in the best possible way.
Table1 has a one to many relationship with Table2
Table1 has a one to many relationship with Table3
Table2 has a many to many relationship with Table3
Would it be best to set them up this way or is there another way that would be better?
Fields for Table1
Table1_ID

Fields for Table2
Table2_ID
Table1_ID
.
.
Fields for Table3

i have been asked to design an access databse for a friend who is a bricklayer. He wants to use it to store all the work he does so he can produce his timesheet quicker.
He works on building sites and has to show a plot number next to all the work he does. He wants to be able to search for a plot number and see what jobs he has already booked in for a particular plot number.
For example, if he is working on a block of flats, each flat will have individual plot numbers. If he is working on the outer wall of the flat his timesheet has to show all plot numbers for that block so he will normally show this as plots 100-110. however, if he works on an internal wall in one of the flats he will have to show just one plot number on his time sheet, for instance plot 104.
my problem is that he wants to be able to search for plot 104 and have it list both jobs he has done even though one job is shown as plots 100-110. How can i structure the database tables to allow this to happen.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

hi everyone,i'm new to access and despite reading quite abit im just not grasping how to set up tables and relationships for what im wanting to do.I need a customer contacts table/form to keep track of my customers info (name, address, etc) & who's placing orders, easy enough.Now with some of my customers its always the same person who places the order but with others it can be anyone of up to about 15 different people who place the order each one can have their own direct phone no.So what im wanting to do is create a customer contact table/form and then linked to that who in that company placed the order with their phone no. Ideally i'd like it so once I have entered the info I can just use drop down menu's to select the company name then it opens up a list of all the people who I deal with in that company so I can just select the person/phone no who is placing the order.Can anyone help & advise me through best way of doing thisthanks alot

Good morning,since this is my first post I hope I'm not making to many mistakes.I'm making a database for school in Access 2003. In this database I have 2 parts.. A part for Patch connections and a part for PC repairs. The PC repair part is doing okay. The patch part is where I'm having some trouble.I don't exactly know how to start with it, and I'm hoping someone here can help me out.The form, I want to make based on tables should look something like this:A ComboBox filled from a table with about 10 entries in it. (Patchkasten)A textfield in which I have to enter something like this: XX-00 (x stands for alphabetic - 0 stands for nummeric)(Patchnummer) This will have around ~3000 entries.Those 2 should somehow be connected in a table as 1 field. (if that is possible offcourse)If not, is there another way to do something like this, because the combination of (patchkasten)and(patchnummer) has to be unique.. And at last a combobox (ruimte) with around ~ 150-200 entries.Now my question is if someone could help me setting this up somehow. Help would be appriciated.Thanks,F3dde

i am currently working with a human resource outsourcing company. we deploy contractual employees to different companies.
we usually use ms excel in keeping records of our employees, now my boss wants me to create a database using ms access. this is my first time in creating database using ms access.
here are the headers that we used with our excel database:

- Status (active, end contract, resigned, terminated)
- Previous contract start

- Position
- Pay class (daily or monthly)
- Basic Rate
- Allowance
- Total Pay
- Home address
- Home tel. no.
- Mobile no.
- Civil status

what i did was divide the headers into several tables for ms access as follows:
1st table (Personal Info)
- ID number
- First name
- Last name
- Middle initial
- Home address
- Home tel. no.
- Mobile no.
- Civil status
- Date of birth

5th table (Status info)
- Status ID
6th table (Pay class info)
