Club Membership Database

S

Sandy

Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to set up an Access DB to keep track of all the
members in my local hiking club. I have a database
already set up, but I'd like to "link" records. For
instance, a family membership that has 1 husband, 1 wife,
and 3 children. I'd like to have a "master" record, then
when I bring up that master record, it will bring up the
other three members. There ARE four members and each has
their own member number. I just want a way that when I
bring up one record (say the husband), it will also have
the wife and three children listed.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Why not have a Master table that has the following

ID# HHFirstName HHMiddleInitial HHLastName HH(other key
field if needed)
-------- ---------------- -------------------- ----------------
--------------------------------------
1 John H. Doe
xxxxx
2 Mary W. Wilson
xxxxx
3 Peter K. Jones
xxxxx


Then in your other table where you have everyone's name listed have the
following:

ID# FirstName LastName etc..
------ ------------- -------------- -------------
1 John Doe xxxxx
1 Sue Doe xxxxx
1 Mike Doe xxxxx
2 Mary Wilson xxxxx
2 Bob Wilson xxxxx

And of course you can choose not to enter the HH name twice in the 2nd
table or not.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

Thank you so much!

I'm going to give this solution a try as well! There was
another solution under "Tables & database Design" I'll try
as well.

I REALLY appreciate your help, more than you know!

Hello Eric!

After printing and reading your response (and digesting
it), will your solution allow all the family members to
each have a unique member number? After all, they're
still individual members, just grouped under the "head of
household". Just as it would be for spouses or sig
others. We actually have TWO members, just one household.

Thanks!

Hi,

In my solution the first table would have a unique number for just the
household.

You could have a unique number for each member in the 2nd table.
