    Looking for ways to capture and report options for users

    I'm looking for ideas for the most efficient way to build a database that will capture and report the daily status of workers. There are 50 workers and 3 status options for each worker. I'm looking to build a report that would then list the workers by their daily status (and then prints and/or emails the report, but that's another post ). I started building something with a Table where each Field was a worker and a Form that had all the workers names (label) and a corresponding option group (buttons, to visually select one of the options), but it didn't feel like the right path and I couldn't find a way to setup the report to display the information correctly after the data was captured. Any direction or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    # WORKER STATUS LogDate
    1 Worker1 Option 1 09-09-21
    2 Worker2 Option 1 09-09-21
    .................................................. ........
    50 Worker50 Option 3 09-09-21


    REPORT

    LogDate: 09-09-21


    OPTION 1 OPTION 2
    Worker 1 Worker 31
    Worker 3 Worker 32
    Worker 5 Worker 33
    Worker 6 Worker 35
    Worker 7 Worker 36
    Worker 8
    Worker 9
    Worker 11 OPTION 3
    Worker 21 Worker 30
    Worker 22 Worker 49
    Worker 24 Worker 50
    Worker 35
    Worker 44


    Worker 45
    Worker 47
    Worker 48

    your table is correct,

    on the report, sort by OPTION, then WORKER.
    then set the PAGE SETUP:
    colums tab
    set # of cols, and LAYOUT : down ,then across

    I now understand, I removed post from other site. Thought I could get more help if I asked more people. Now I know.

    Crossposting is not illegal

    It is just that you should advise forum members, so they do not waste their time giving the same advice?

    As long as they know, they can look, if they so desire, to see what has been offered, and perhaps offer an alternative.

    It is the, not alerting to/mentioning the cross post that is frowned upon.

    no harm in cross posting - just include a link so people don't waste their time
