Re: [MS_AccessPros] Multi-Value Fields

 

Personally, I wouldn't use multi-value fields. I much prefer the control I have over normalized tables.

Regards,

Duane

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Multi-Value Fields

 

I am looking at the MS Access Template called  ISSUES.  It utilizes a field property of "allow multi-values".  Are there any potential issues with using this property? 

For a small number of items, it seems to be a simple option as compared to creating a many to many relationship between two tables with a join table.  But sometimes I see guidance from experienced developers to not use some of the Access options due to problems which might show up later.

Thanks, David
