Creating a membership database
I am trying to create a membership database for a church.
I need to have all members entered into the database, then for the members I need to have their spouse name and anniversary, and the names of their children. I am trying to get a subform for each of these into the main form, but when I try to use it it just shows the spouse in the first spot as the spouse for every record. I need to lock or bind this information to each "Master" form. So that joe smith at 123 anyplace somewhere usa will show his spouse and children while joe smith at 456 somewhere anyplace usa will show his spouse and children also the spouse's page (jane smith) will show joe smith as her spouse with their children. I would also like to hyperlink the spouse name so that if you click it their record will be pulled up. Anyone that can help me with this endeavor would be greatly appreaciated. |

Creating a membership database
"Steve" schreef in bericht ... Open the main form in design view. Select the subform control. Open properties and go to the Data tab. Set the Linkmaster and Linkchild properties to MemberID. The subform will now only show the data in the subform for the member in the main form. If you want help with yur database, I can help. I provide help with Access, Excel and Word applications for a very modest fee. I can get your database up and running quickly for a very reasonable fee. Contact me to begin using your database soon. Remember ??? "I judiciously chose who to offer fee-based help to based on whether it appears highly unlikely that the poster will get a solution from the newsgroup." Get lost $teve. Go away... far away.... Again... Get lost $teve. Go away... far away.... No-one wants you here... no-one needs you here... This newsgroup is meant for FREE help.. No-one wants you here... no-one needs you here...

Steve Stevie is our own personal pet troll who is the only one who does not understand the concept of FREE peer to peer support! He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support. There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of "FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he needs to constantly grovel for work.

church member database
Hi All, I am also creating a church database. I was doing the same thing. Head of House table and dependant table. It was working fine but I read somewhere that for greater normalization of my database i might want to take another approach. Namely a complete member table and another table that has adresses ( which tend to be unique to the household) But I'm getting caught up in how the dependants can be connected to this unique address table primary key.
Am I thinking about this all wrong? Should I go back the master /dependant tables? Thanks for any help.

My church membership database (you're welcome to a free copy if you're interested, just email me at jvinson at wysard of info dot com) has a Families table related one to many to a Members table: tblFamily FamilyID autonumber primary key SortName last name or other name for sorting DisplayName e.g. "Mr. & Mrs. Joe Jones", "The Benson Family", "Tim Roberts & Mary Jones" address, phone, email, etc. tblPeople MemberID autonumber primary key FamilyID Long Integer fk to Families MemberNum optional "giving envelope number" LastName FirstName MiddleName Suffix There's no "head of family" - everyone in the family is on the same level. I included a "MoveOut" button on the Members subform which takes a person and creates a new record in tblFamilies and assigns them to that new FamilyID (e.g. when a child moves out on her own). -- John W.
