Two records on 1 form
Can I display the details of 2 records on a form view?? Let me explain why.
I have a membership database that as well as the usual 3 address lines & d.o.b. etc etc, it also records a next of kin (incl. their full address details etc). Normally I would create many fields for each record except some people who are down as N.o.K are also members. This leads me to list each person by themselves with an additional yes/no field to denote if they are a member or JUST a N.o.K. So when a member is displayed on the form, can I also display details from another record who is down as their N.o.K. ??? |

You should be able to do this with a subform. You haven't provided any table
structure or information on how the pairs of nok are related. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "Widemonk" wrote in message ... Can I display the details of 2 records on a form view?? Let me explain why.

Sorry...
Only 1 table because I'm trying to make it self-join. Primary key is MemberName (I expect this list will have no more than 100 names which is why i havent used AutoNumber as the primary) In relationships, i've added the table a total of 3 times and joined:- table_1.membername to table.NOK1 table_2.membername to table.NOK2 "Duane Hookom" wrote: You should be able to do this with a subform.

Your subform can be based on the same table. I'm still not sure which fields
are linked to which fields. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "Widemonk" wrote in message ... Sorry... Only 1 table because I'm trying to make it self-join.

OK. I'm probably not explaining it very well.
Just SOME of the fields a Name, Street, Town, County, Phone, DOB, Membership Type, NoK1 Name, NoK1 Street, NoK1 Town, NoK1 County, NoK1 Phone, ... and all the same for NoK2 etc Now, I have an adult member who may also have two kids as child members too. That adult now has their address unlinked in 3 places... their own address and as the NOK for each of their two kids. Instead, if I have each person as a separate record and somehow link the NOK names to the Name field of other records, I can remove a quarter of my fields, but I'd still like it display those two or three records on the same form If i have a child as a member but their parent isnt, although the parent would be included in the list (solely as NOK for their child), their membership type (say, 'parent') would remove them from queries & reports etc. Hope the mud is clearing up a bit !!

I wouldn't do anything until the structure was properly normalized. Consider
