can this be done in Access?
I am trying to create a schedule for my crosscountry teams meets with other
teams. Here is the info: I have 15 high school teams that need to meet with each other once. I can have meets that conists of two teams against each other or meets that have three teams against each other. I don't need specific dates for the meets, I am just hoping Access can arrange the groups. Can this be done in Access? It seems like something a database can do but I am not sure where to even start. Thanks Dola |

Create a table of teams containing teamid (autonumber),
tean name. Create a schedule table containing scheduleid, date, teamid. So if your meet has three teams, your schedule table will have three records. Resist the tempatation to have a schedule table with scheduleid, date, teamid1, teamid2, teamid3. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I created the tables but I still can't figure out how to get Access to merge the data to create a schedule of meets/grouping of teams for me. Is scheduleid the primary key? Is it because I don't have specific dates in mind? What type of query do I need to create? Thanks so much for any help.

Wendy,
Please have a look at and download the database that I put together for you at: http://home.fuse.net/Wyght/teamschedule.mdb Have a look at Tools, Relationships. The Hungarian naming conventions (tbl, QSEL). Geof Wyght. -----Original Message----- Thanks for the reply.
