I have a jobsheet database containing an orders table. Its got almost 2000 entries in it.
Each record contains customer name in full together with other fields for job no, date, description,invoice no
amount and a numerical job status. Since many customers repeat jobs I would like to add a customer contact table and use the customer data from that table in the orders table.
I tried a copy of the empty database and containing a lookup for customer in the new contacts table- that works ok.
any kind of query or append to transfer from the old orders database to the modified new one fails.
I want to delete all the full customer details from the orders table and replace them with a lookup from a new contacts.
I thought of exporting the customer names to a new contacts table but there are duplicates.
any ideas please
Thanks
