August 17, 200619 yr Newbies I searched the site, but wasn't able to find an answer to the following. I have ten tables in a file, each representing a different facility. The fields in each table are identical. What I need to do is combine data from each table into a consolidated report, but cannot seem to accomplish this. I know I am missing something (please see attached), so it is time to call on the Pros... Thanks, John J.
August 17, 200619 yr Author Newbies I actually have one table that contains all of the data, but I thought it might have been contributing to my problem so I was experimenting. Wouldn't I need to vary the repetitive fields for each program (i.e.; july crisis, july respite, etc.) if I want to use them in the same layout?
August 17, 200619 yr I am afraid I don't quite follow. What exactly are these "repetitive fields" and what significance do they have? Usually, when designing the structure of a database, we speak of entities and their attributes. It is sometimes difficult to decide when a collection of attributes justifies a new entity - but having identical fields (attributes) in each table, and the need for a consolidated report, are two strong indication that we are looking at a single entity (table).
