I am a little stumped on this one, have been working with Access for about 6 months now, and one of my projects has grown to a point where I need some help.
I have a two tables, one is a "static" table of names. The other is a table of assignments. In my static table, there is about 100 names. I am trying to create a form that will allow me to select multiple names/entries from the static table and assign them an assignment. The trick is, I need to create a separate entry in the assignment table for each name selected.
The form now works as long as I select each name individually and create their assignment. The problem is, now that the list grows, it would make it much easier to select from a list and create 40-50 assignments with one click instead of 40-50 times.
I need to track them in individual rows so that I can track completion separately. If I do the multi-selection to one table entry, when I check my completed yes/no field, it will mark complete for everyone in that row/entry.
Thanks for the help, and I appreciate it!
Respectfully,
Will
