Re: [MS_AccessPros] Table Design Question

 

Jim-

I think the correct way to do this is:

tblEvents:

EventID, EventDescription, etc.

tblGroups:

GroupID, GroupDescription, etc.

tblDates:

EventID, GroupID, EventDate, etc.

Every year in October we calendar for the next year. We have different groups that have events on the calendar that need to be coordinated. Every year we seem to always miss something on the calendar for some reason on another. 

I thought that if I created a database with the events and the dates I could make sure we do not miss anything. 

I figured I would do a events table and then a dates table as a one to many. 

But here is a question. because some groups have events that are comingled, I need the ability to choose the groups associated with the event. My thought was to have a check box for every group. But wanted to know if that was the most efficient way to do it. Is there another way?

I want to be able to have reports that I could show the event and the groups associated with the event. 

Thank You Very Much
