    Help normalizing & combining fields?

    Hi All, I am looking for advice on normalizing a table imported from Excel. The Excel table lists information on cases that our clients have. Each case can have 1-4 situations. Each situation has three components: a problem, a method, and an outcome. Right now, the Excel table has an...

    Date calculation: help with DateDiff() syntax?

    Hi Tek-Tips folks! My office has a table with information on cases. The table has fields for each case’s open date and close date. We’d like to get a new field, “TimeTaken,” with the time (in year-day-month format) between the case’s open date and close date. I know that DateDiff can help me...

    Getting rid of duplicate fields in a select query?

    Hi, I have one table for info on clients (primary key=ClientID). It is connected to a query for clients’ cases, and a table for clients’ brief services. (Each includes a ClientID field.) I wrote a query to display all the fields; I told the design grid to show ClientInfo.*, Cases.*, and...

    Show two tables with the same fields as one table?

    Hi, I have a table of old records and a table of new records. They have identical fields (same number of fields, same names for the fields, same types of values). I want to display them in the same datasheet view, listing each field only once. Old records (1-100) should be listed _above_ new...

    Making a query understand that a date doesn’t exist yet?

    Hi All, I'd like to run a query on records with both open dates and close dates. (I would appreciate any tips you could give me!!!!) The query should spit back all the cases that were “open” during certain time periods. For example, the query would show cases open during May '03. 1) The...
