Student course Registration setup
I have a small DB with tables for Student info and Course Info. The main
purpose of the DB is to be able to combine the two and create a Registration table (and Form) that allow the user to select a current Course, Dates, and then enroll or register as many students as necessary on the one form that will create a record for each in the Registration table. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. JS |

UnknownJoe,

UnknownJoe,
Just realized you said you already had the tables, you are just looking for Registration ideas. Well, what tables do you already have? It sounds like you just need a *Join* table with a few additional fields but you might already have one but without more data can't be sure. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "UnknownJoe" wrote in message ...

Sounds like you want an 'append' or [make table' query with a Cartesian effect.
Put both tables in the design view grid and select the fields you want in the output. When you run the query it will generate records of every combination of the two tables. -- Build a little, test a little.

Student course Registration setup
I have 2 tables at this time. One is called Students, with a Student ID,
First Name and Last Name. The 2nd is called Courses, with only Course Name. Within the 3rd table, which is what I'm looking at ideas for, is a Table and Form to be called Registrations. Basically, I want to do the following on the form: (1) Choose a Course (from Course table) (2) Choose a Start and End Date (3) Select any number of Students (from the Student table) I would prefer to have the form open and select a course, then proceed to select and add students (ex. 1 - 20 students). I guess the problem would be that each time I add an additional student, it would need to add another record to the Registration table. Thanks.

UnknownJoe,
If I am understanding you correctly... This would be my third table: tblRegistrations rStudentID rCourseID rStartDate (if not in tblCourses) rDropped rAudit rAdditionalNotes etc... BUT no fields that are included in tblStudents or tblCourses Then in a subform you can select (register) students, either by Course (make that the main form OR just make this your main form and proceed to register Students and run reports to show who has registered for what. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "UnknownJoe" wrote in message ...

Student course Registration setup
Typically there would be a Student table to list Student information, a
Course table for information about courses, and a junction table. The junction table is because one student can take many (i.e. more than one) course, and one course can be attended by many students. tblStudent StudentID (primary key, or PK) FirstName LastName etc. tblCourse CourseID (PK) CourseDescription etc. tblEnrollment StudentCourseID (PK) StudentID (link to tblStudent) CourseID (link to tblCourse) StartDate (or semester) Other fields relevant to a specific student taking a specific course There would be a main form based on tblStudent, with a subform based on tblEnrollment. The Link Child and Link Master properites of the subform control are set to StudentID. A combo box that gets its row source from tblCourse is bound to CourseID on the subform. You would have a separate Course form for populating and updating the Course table. Or you could do it the other way around, with the Course form as the main form with an Enrollment subform on which Students are selected, but that seems an unlikely way to approach it in this case. An advantage of this system is that you can easily devise queries, forms, and reports to show either the courses a student is taking, or the students taking a course. This is a very quick description of the structure, but maybe it will get you started. UnknownJoe wrote: I have a small DB with tables for Student info and Course Info.
