I have a complex question at least to me.....
I am working on a major program for the company i work for in my spare time and have run out of fields to use in the database itself. What i would like to do is this.
1. Seperate the Databases (Which i have done) and I have relationships to each table. I would like to know how can I use all the tables at once, like if someone was to click option 1 or whatever it saves it to that database etc.
2. When it comes to printing reports i would like to have it search all the tables for the qualifications. How can I Do This?
Anyhow that is my main question i am using DAO But I think ADO would work better if you have any suggestions please let me know cause i am quite stumped here for the time being with the above problems/Opportunities
Thanks

If you have two tables, then:
Code:
SELECT Table1.Name, Table2.OtherInfo FROM Table1, Table2 WHERE Table1.ID = 1 AND Table2.ID = 1
This worked on MySQL, anyway, so it should work on Access. I'm not sure about the SQL92 compatibility issues here.

RE Database question
Ok I Understand that but i do have a question does that work for the multiple databases? I mean I should say i think i know what you are saying i just dont understand if that is for the report or for accessing the differant tables?

*** 'scuse me while I bash my head on the table ***
Sorry. Me much confused. I thought you were more tables in one database. If you link the tables into a new database, it will work.
-
Im Sorry ive confused you:( So all i have to do is create a new database and link the tables is what you are saying?
-
Pretty much. Then as far as Access is concerned all the tables are in one DB and you can do all the normal operations on them.

Thank You
Much Appreciated now one more question which is better
ADO or DAO?
-
I prefer DAO, since it seems much more intuitive, with Databases, Recordsets, and the like.
-
ok one last question
Ok Ok I think you have heard enough from me but i did get the databases linked and now when it comes to the coding of the form like if i wanted to switch tables so that it adds the record to the right place i just do an if statement? please inform
-
Just substitute the name of the table when opening the recordset.
