    printing large relationships

    MichaelRed, You should give it a shot. Dhookom has it nailed and until now I was at a loss. Perhaps enlarging the diagram as I did will give you more room to organize Directorz

    printing large relationships

    Dhookom, That's the ticket! I used Snagit, capturing the full layout (set to scroll both vertically and horizontally). Saved it to a .tif format and plotted it on a xerox plotter 24" x 30". Great tip...thank you! Directorz

    printing large relationships

    Dhookom, I've tried this without much success. If the printing appears on multiple pages, that's fine. I just physically cut and paste onto a board that hangs on my wall. Everything does not need to fit onto one page. I was thinking more along the lines of converting it then saving it to a PDF...

    printing large relationships

    Has anyone ever printed a large relationships diagram that's too large to print from the relationships window? Did you use a third party software? Any suggestions? Thank you Directorz

    Hello experts, I'm incorporating inventory into a db using the NorthWind inventory as a model and my db tracks equipment maintenance. When any maintenance is performed, a work order is always completed, thus I have a work orders table which needs to be tied to the inventory model. The work...

    Breakfast table relations

    Willir, The more I see, the more I get confused. I’ve uploaded a sample at geocities.com. Username is directorz2002. Password is ticket. Access the file from file manager, look for metersample. The arrangement shows the following. 1. A vehicle can have many meters and a specific meter can...

    Convert Flat Database to Relational Database

    One other thought. Check out MSWorks database. It's a cheapo but it does exactly what you want.

    Breakfast table relations

    Willir This gets quite complex.. I do want the meter reading on work orders. When it comes to replacement meters, how is this handled. For example. if car 1 has 5000 hours and the hourmeter fails, it gets replaced. Now, I can't include a calculated value in the table. So, after a period of time...

    Breakfast table relations

    Willir, I've been out most of the weekend and could not followup. The way you enclose "quotes" in boxes is very clear...how is that done? Let me address this bits at a time. <<<Does this mean you can bring in a vehicle, and it will have several meters, or have one meter one day and another...

    Treeview assistance requested

    FancyPrairie, Are you receptive to assisting with a modification of treeview0. Everything's fine but I'm looking to expand it to show 'hours' 'days' and 'miles' as part of the intervals. I won't have a sample until tomorrow for you to look at. Thank you in advance Directorz

    Form size

    Using 800 x 600 resolution, what is the typical size of a form. I read 7-1/2 x 5-1/4, then 6-1/4 x 3-3/4 but am confused. Thank you Directorz
