    Form/List Help

    Background
    I have a table that is a called tblPersonnel - it has default "people" fields (last name, first name, etc.). It has a field called "Skills" which is a lookup to another table called tblSkillsList that allows multiple selections. tblSkillsList includes all the options I want for people's skills.



    Basically I want to be able to assign skills to people for example Accounting, QuickBooks, Word, Powerpoint, Programming, Website Design, etc. to keep track of the skills our people have.

    The Problem

    I want to create a form that lists ALL the skills (not just a dropdown box) so that I can print this out and hand it to them to review. So they can "X" a box if I did not add a skill they have or even cross one out if one is erroneously checked.

    How can I easily accomplish this?

    A way to do that

    Hi,

    In fact as 1 employee have many skills, and 1 skill can be connected to many employee you should have 3 tables :
    1: employee
    empl_id
    empl_name
    etc...

    2: skills
    skills_id
    skills_txt

    3 st_empl_skills
    st_empl_skills_id
    st_empl_id
    st_skills_id


    Your report to check the skills can be done from table skills

    You can have a form_employee
    which is a master/child form.

    Master is employee data like name, etc

    Subform will be on table st_empl_skills in datasheet view
    and you select the skills from the drop-down list.

    I hope it helps.
    Cheers
