    Access Expert

    A company I work with is seeking an MS Access and VB expert for a short contract assignment. This could possibly be 20 or more worth of work. We are located in Manassas Va 20110. We have an application that needs some additional work which is outside of the capabilities of the person that built it. They are trying to read information from a horizontal row and then using the ONPRINT place the information in vertical columns. these are text descriptions and numeric ratings for teachers evaluations.
    Example horizontal line: Verbal, She is excellent in communicating with students and watches for verbal queues, 1, Written, Needs more work in communicating in writiing, 3

    Sample ON PRINT
    Area Description Score


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Verbal She is excellent in communicating with students and 1
    watches for verbal queues,
    Written Needs more work in communicating in writiing 3

    This would most likely require an initial meeting and then could possibly be done remotely. This is done in 2002 MS ACCESS.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    I don't know what ONPRINT is but doubt can do what you want with it.

    By horizontal row do you mean fields of a table or is this a text file you want to import?

    If the data is already in a table, a UNION query could be used to rearrange the data. How many fields are involved? Are any a Memo datatype? The query would be like:

    SELECT "Written" As Category, fieldname1 As Comment, fieldname2 As Rating FROM table1
    UNION ALL SELECT "Verbal", fieldname3, fieldname4 FROM table1
    UNION ALL SELECT ...;

    There is no wizard or designer for UNION query, must type into the SQL View window. Build report with this query as RecordSource.

    Resorting to a UNION query is an indicator that data is not properly normalized. The UNION query result is essentially what normalized table structure would look like.
