Please forgive me for the terms I used in the title. I'm a complete noob at Access :O
I'm building a database for a manufacturing company (for free!). I have 3 different records that are in inclusive relationship: (A) transactions, (B) items, (C) materials.
(A) transactions consist of a number of (B) items, and each (B) item consists of (C) materials. (C) materials are not unique for (B) items, in other words, materials in stock can be used for different items, and (A) transaction may have two or three of the same (C) material.
I want to show what (C) materials are needed for a given (A) transaction. What kind of relationship (or whatever other methods) should I build for this database? Also, for reoccuring (C) materials in a (A) transaction, how can I combine or separate (C) materials when showing the (A) transaction?
