(Access 2000)
i want to create a database to manage clients where i can create exercise workouts, manage body measurements and create reports even possible have a billing section for services. At present i have a "Client" table and an "Exercise" table. the "client" table has basic personal info (name addy phone). the "exercise" table has exercise name, description, sets, reps, weight. I want to link the two tables when I create a workout for 1 specific client. Where do i create this "Workout" portion (table, query, form)? How do I associate the two tables?

thanks for quick response!
first...i know (PK) = primary key...what is (FK)? I have created a "workout" table that has WorkoutID as(PK) then i have as fields, ClientID(which is from my "client" table) and i have ExerciseID (from my "exercise" table) Exercise Name (that would pull from "exercise" table), sets, reps, weight (sets reps weight to be filled in when create workout) and description (from "execise"table). i have a form (using as switchboard) where i want to put a command button to create workout. how can i put on that popup form a small window on the left that lists clients to click...then a window like a datasheet on the right that would show added exercises with the "workout" table fields. (my add exercise would be a command button at bottom that would popup the exercises table for me to select the specific exercise that i want to add. i have created a database before but for some reason i am having trouble setting this one up. i hope i make sense...any thoughts.

FK = Foreign Key (Indexed but duplicates okay - for Relationships)
As for the form set-up... List Box for Clients... another list box to show which exercises they already have (this would change depending on the Client selected) and then a continuous form for adding new exercises to that Client (that would be the new table tblWorkout). All tied together via ClientID. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "LTOSH" wrote in message ... thanks for quick response! first...i know (PK) = primary key...what is (FK)?

First things first! Get your tables, relationships and indexing sorted out before you start thinking about whistles and bells in your GUI. If you don't have a solid foundation of tables to build your application on then it may well end up collapsing around you and you'll have some re-work at the very least. 2p supplied Keith. www.keithwilby.co.uk |

Hi Gina...thanks for support here! By the way...I'm a 'her' hehehe.
ok...here is where i am and need help i think with relationships. As i stated in first email i want to click a client name then add information specific only to that client. Here is what i have going on. Main Switchboard I have a list box with client name. Then I have command buttons to take me to other specific switchboards (ex. Weightlifting, Cardio). I want to click the client name then click the command button "WEIGHTLIFTING" to take me to this switchboard. Once on the "WEIGHTLIFTING" screen i have a list box "workout date" and a listbox "Workout". Here is where i want the relationship of "workout date' and "client" to be associated, to be specific to this client. I also want "workout date" to be specific to specific dates. Example. for 02/07/09 i have chosen specific exercises. for 02/08/09 i want specific exercises. How do i make these associations or relationships? i hope i make sense. Just for clarity...i have 3 tables..."CLIENT" "EXERCISES" "WORKOUT" "WORKOUT" table is where the new created workouts would be stored. Thanks so much for help! This is so exciting this coming together.

Hi Gina, thanks for your support here! By the way, I am a "HER" hehehe
Here is where I am...as i stated in the original post i want to click a client name then add workout information only to that specific client. here is what i have going so far. Main switchboard has listbox with "client name". i have command button labeled "weightlifting" when clicked takes me to a second switchboard (form). i want to click a specific client then click the "weightlifting" button to go to this switchboard to begin adding workouts to this client. On the "weightlifting" form i have a list box labeled "workout date" and "workout". there is a command button labeled "Add Workout" which takes to a form to type the workout date then pick exercises, input sets, reps, weight. there is a save button. Ex. on 02/07/09 i want to add specific exercises and information. then for 02/08/09 i want to add specific exercises. on the "weight lifting" form i want to see those specific dates listed and when clicked i see the specific exercises. how do i make these associations? client to workout date to workouts? I hope this makes sense. just for clarity i have 3 tables. "CLIENTS" "EXERCISES" "WORKOUTS". the "WORKOUTS" table is where this new information will be stored. on the main page, when i click on a different client and go to weightlifting i want to see the workouts specific to that client. help....
