Hello Guys, First Post from a long time reader.
I am need of a little help on a database I am trying to build.
Basically it is for creating orders for a catering company.
Customer Rings in and details are made in the customer frm/tbl.
Party is then created under that customer name.
My issue is I didn't know how to do the menu or packing list tables.
I currently have them as fields in the party table, but I would rather have them starting from Beef through to Desserts - Other in a Menu table.
and then Apple Sauce through to Tongs in a packing list table. When I tried this I kept getting an error saying they couldn't be linked.
I wanted the Menu and Packing list to be sub forms in my Party Form, that when I click on a party I then get the menu and the quantities for that party in the sub form.
and the same for the packing list.
So I would click on Party 1, and I have Beef - 30 Serves, Chicken 30 serves, Tongs - 2, etc shown in the sub forms below like how the Customer Form is currently showing the party's associated with that customer.
Not sure why it would not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Not sure even if my database is how it should be done. Kind of new at the database relationship thing.
