Is there a function/routine/prayer to copy the names of fields to memory variables?

RE: Field Names

There is sure is.  If you are talking about the fields of a table, there is a fields collection, which contains field objects.  You can check out the help topics on Field Collection and Field Object.

If you give me a bit more detail I would be happy to help.  Where do you want to do this?  Are you talking about fields in a table or fields on a form?

I am taking a long weekend, though, so I won't be checking my email notification until Tuesday.

RE: Field Names

(OP)
Hi Kathryn

Thank you for trying to help me with this one.  I'll give you a bit of history about what I'm trying to do and why so you can get a better idea of what I'm getting myself into.

I'm trying to create a "Simple" database to record student assignment grades for a number of courses.  I have created the following main tables:

tblCourses - The courses offered by the college. Primary key (PK) = CourseID
tblUnits - The units that make up the courses. PK=UnitID
tblAssignments - The assignments set for the units/course - each assignment has a unique code.  PK=AssignmentID.
tblStudents - PK StudentID

I have another table called tblResults where I store the grades awarded to the students for assignments:

---------------------------------------------------------
AssignmentID    StudentID    Grade
AVCE1-1-1        1            P
AVCE1-1-1        2            P
AVCE1-1-1        3            P
AVCE1-1-1        4            M
AVCE1-1-1        5            P
AVCE1-1-2        4            P
AVCE1-1-2        5            P
---------------------------------------------------------

When a lecturer/admin person comes to enter the data into this table I would like to present the assignments results in a more organised manner.

I lecturer needs to select their course, then course Id then I require a form/table to appear showing all the students down the left hand side and the assignments id's at the column headings.

Using a crosstab query and create table query I can produce a temporary table called tblTemp which I can edit and update:

StudentID    AVCE1-1-1    AVCE1-1-2
1            P            M
2            P            
3            P            
4            M            P
5            P            P

What I need is a way of getting this data back into tblResults correctly.

I am stumped at this stage.  I think I've got it right so far.  However I have a feeling there is a better way of doing this.

Surely there must be a wizard/add-in or routine out there which will do this sort of thing.  I can't beleive that I am the only person who has come up against this problem.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me on this problem.
