Question about normalizing a survey
I have checked out Duane Hookem's AYS DB and it has given me a great start,
but I am getting in trouble trying to match up the answers with the correct questions and recording them with one unique survey number. I am not sure what info to give in order to get help. It is a rather simple survey with 4 sections, three sections have yes/no answers and the last section has four possible answers. They all have points associated with them. Here are the tables that I have: tblQuestions tblResponses tblSection tblWOInfo *QuesID *QuesID *SectionID *WONumber SectionID *SectionID SectionDesc TechID QuesNum *WONumber SectionID Question Response Points Does this sound about right? It doesn't work yet. I have the DB working, but everything is in the tblWOInfo and Duane made me realize it wasn't normalized. Can someone steer me in the right direction? tia, Lee -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...esign/200507/1 |

You posting has suffered greatly from word wrap. Can you post your table
structure in a more normalized manner with one table (and fields) list under the other? The questions table allows you to set levels. Won't this suffice for your sections? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "Lee Stafford via AccessMonster.com" wrote in message ...

tblQuestions
*QuesID SectionID QuesNum Question Points tblResponses *SectionID *QuesID *WONumber Response tblSection *SectionID SectionDesc tblWOInfo *WONumber SectionID TechID The levels probably would work, but I do not understand the whole setup. I sort of related the Sections to the Surveys. I only need to display the sections that are being answered. There will only be two sections answered at any given time. 1 and 4 or 2 and 4 or 3 and 4. Thanks for your help Duane. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...esign/200507/1 |

You shouldn't need SectionID in tblResponses since tblQuestions has
SectionID. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "Lee Stafford via AccessMonster.com" wrote in message ... tblQuestions *QuesID SectionID QuesNum Question Points tblResponses *SectionID *QuesID *WONumber Response tblSection *SectionID SectionDesc tblWOInfo *WONumber SectionID TechID The levels probably would work, but I do not understand the whole setup.
