soriano Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Hi again... I have my DB with many relations and I want to create another but I can't, please help me. OK, I think may be it's easy, I have MY DB (Patients) and another 2 DB (CXCOP and CXCOR) when I create a payment in my Patients DB create a record in some related DB, (depends the patient status), but I want to find to all family in my report and show me the total by family in my Patients DB. Can I do this with the mother name field??, for example: Mother's Name: Karol Scultz and show all her sons may be 2, 3 etc. and the Total to pay for all her childs. The mother's name field is in the Patients DB, please help me to do this, TKS Jorge Soriano
Kurt Knippel Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Names are almost always a BAD way to make relationships. Too many people have the same names. A better idea is to have a unique ID field for each record. See my article for information on this topic: http://www.fmforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000018;p= Then you can simply relate each of the other records to thier parent record via this ID field.
