Hello all,
I have two queries taht iw ill be using in a report.
Query1 has information on how the parts are built and their electrical yield; and Query 2 is information about the acid used to clean the parts mentioned above.
these two queries don't have a field that ties them uniquely, in other words, no field i can use for a type of join to properly display the information on the report.
About Query 1: in query one, i have a date/time field that, needless to say, records the date/time the parts were dipped in acid. this is done on a daily basis.
About Query 2: in query two we just store information about the acid, e.g. pH levels, concentration, etc. and most importantly, Date used in production. one barrel of acid may last 3 weeks or so.
In a report, i would like to display all of this information, but i am having difficulties tying in the data because there is no unique field unifying the two.
My aim is to have the correct acid information display for the date range of parts cleaned.
an example of a problem i forsee: acid barrels might be added, say, 5/12/12 and 6/2/12, but i want the date range view from 5/2/12-6/5/12. this means that for this date range chosen, there are two barrels, but i dont know how to set up a query that will display this information properly so that i can see what parts were cleaned with what acid.
it is confusing to explain this problem with words.
please let me know if i can clarify anything.
thank you in advanced.
