I have a library database, with several tables. I am wanting to produce reports for the students who have overdue books.
I am completely new to reports, so any help on the easiest way to go about doing this would be a great help. Thanks
EDIT: I'll post what i current have so as to help a little.
I have created a query which selects any over due books from the 'tbl_issue' table.
When i run the query I get back,
issueID, studentID, bookID, issueDate, issueDueReturnDate
So what i need to do with this query is then select the information from the corresponding tables that have relationships with the tbl_issue.
Eg: for all overdue books select student information from tbl_students where studentID = studentID
same with all books.
Then i can produce a report saying something like:
Dear [studentName],
You have [x] number of books overdue, please return them as soon as possible.
[bookTitle] [issueDueReturnDate] [NoDaysOverdue]
Thanks heaps,
Kingy
