Searching and automatically updating fields
I have created a table to schedule meetings. the table consists of 16
fields. The Company ID's are already filled in and I am scheduling
individuals to meet with each company.
Fields in table:
record count (automatic count)
Company ID
Meeting 1
Meeting 2
Meeting 3
Meeting 4
Meeting 5....through 14
the table looks like:
Count CoID Mtg1 Mtg2 Mt3 Mtg4 Mtg5......
1 COA Dist1
2 COB
3 COC Dist1
I have setup theMeeting fields as "no duplicates" to prevent me from
scheduling the same person at the same time for different companies. This
works fine, but I need to find out is if Access can do the following:
If I try schedule "Distributor 1" to ABC company in the meeting 1 timeslot,
and Distributor 1 has already been scheduled to meet with someone else
within that time slot:
Can Access search on the row that ABC company is on
And Search the other meeting fields
Find a meeting field that Distributor1 has Not been assigned to yet
automatically update the open meeting field for Distributor 1 and company to
meet
Thanks for your help
