Working on a DB

[dogbite via AccessMonster.com]

I hope This won't be to long or a string to many.
I'm using ACCESS 2000 on a lap top with windows 2003.
I go to about 20 different new subdivisions a day I track the building
progress of each new house (slab, walls, roof, shingled, Ect) on the data
base I'm working on frmMain has County, City, Subdiv. name, house address,
lot#, date, Ect. I have the DB it to the point of data for all this is in the
table.
I have to print a report after the electric meter can is on the house for
that house. Thats not much of a problem.
What I want to do is access the data by subdivision and street modify the
data put it back in the table.
I have tryed a macro and a qry. Qry the table and have the data come up on a
form then if I try to pull a 2nd subdivision I have to shut it all down go
threw all the (are you sure you want to do that's). I would like to do it off
the form with drop down box.
Mostly I need ideas of the easy and best way to do that.
Let me know what other information might help.
Thanks for any help

What is your table structure look like. Post an example of your data.
You can open a form that has a query as record source without a macro. You
can then step through the records - subdivision - house.

or post it or something or I'll give you my email address
Thanks

No. Just post the information I suggested.

You have at least two issues:
1) you haven't told us what you mean by "access the data by subdivision and
street modify the data put it back in the table."
Normally you just open a form based on a query and edit the records. There
is not a need to "put it back in the table". I expect there is a very key
piece of relevant information that you are withholding.

2) You table seems un-normalized. I would expect the checks and dates to all
be stored as individual records in a related table.

I go to a subdivision input the Subdivision, address, lot#, date, Ect. on
that house.
next week I go back to see if the house has gone from having the slab(floor)
poured to having the walls started next time to see if the roof is on, Each
trip is in a week cycle. I do that untill the meter can for the electeic is
on the wall then I print a report on that house. each time I visit a house it
gets that date and if the house has progressed as far as slab wall, truss,
roof, sheeting, shingles. So i have to get tha recordset for a house and
update it then save it back to the table. I do 2 areas and each area has
between 150 and 300 houses At this time i have a Qry to transfer the houses
that have the Ele. meters cans up, to a seperate table and then delete them
from the orignal table so I din't have to go threw them on each visit.

I'm not sure what you meen by un-normalized table
Do I need to splite the table? Are there advantage to that? All this is in 1
table.
Many thanks

Accessing the data Bringing up the recordsets using (find) for subdivision.
I would like to do that on a separate form and have it update the table when
I finish

 

[Duane Hookom]

When you edit data in a form, it changes the data in the table. There is no
reason to "put it back in the table".

You don't seem to understand normalization. Did you understand what I meant
by putting the 10 date values in 10 different records? What are you storing
in these fields?
