    Query using 2 sets of criteria

    I am trying to perform a query to grab all people with a particular role, AND also grab other people IF they are found in the Attendee field for the currently selected Event (role does not matter for the second part).

    Code:
    Table=Events
    Fields:
    ID
    Attendees (From People table: Name1,Name2,Name3) (Yes, I know I should normalize) 
    
    Table=People
    Fields:
    ID
    Name
    Role
    Scenario to populate listbox:
    Select all people from People table with role="Attendee"
    Select people from People table IF they exist in the Attendee field (can use InStr()) for the current event ID.

    The first part is simple, but I'm not sure how to perform the second query. When I use an temp attendee, they are added to the People table with the role of "Attendee (temp)". We do not want these people to appear in the Attendee listbox for events that they are not a part of OR when creating new event. They should only be included in the listbox in the event(s) for which they were manually added and are found in the Attendee field for the event (I have a command button to add these temps). We re-visit records up for 4 times before they are completed and the temps name(s) re-appearing in the listbox is important.

    Event1
    Ryan Attendee
    Bill Attendee
    Bob Attendee (temp)

    If I create a new event, I should see only "Attendees" from people table
    If I re-visit Event1, I should see all "Attendees" from people table AND "Bob" since he is in the attendee field for Event1.

    I made this for grabbing the non Attendees, which is probably wrong. Please help (Again, the role does not matter for the temps, I had to include that in my code to prevent every Attendee from being returned). I wrote this in VBA to allow the ID to be dynamic based on the currently viewed event, me.id being the Event ID.
    Code:
    strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT People.Name" & vbCrLf
    strSQL = strSQL & "FROM Events,People" & vbCrLf
    strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE ((People.Role= 'Attendee (temp)') AND (" & Me.ID & " = DLookup('[ID]', '[Events]', InStr([Attendees],[People].[Name])>0)))" & vbCrLf
    lstAttendees.RowSource = strSQL
    lstAttendees.Requery
    I need that, combined with


    Code:
    SELECT People.Name
    FROM People
    WHERE People.Role <> "dbadmin"
    ORDER BY People.Name;

    For testing, Adam should show up when I visit event ID 4.

    Which I'd like to do, but idk if I can get every one of my queries to work with that method. I've normalized the rest of my Db though, the attendance is the only thing nit being done correctly... But it works great.

    In your opinion, do you see any long term impact (performance\stability) on keeping all names in one field versus using a separate attendance table? I should not need any further reporting other than what I already have.

    I think (guess without details) you would have

    People
    Events
    Roles

    and you may need junction table(s) if
    -A person could be in many events
    -An event involves 1 or more People(Persons)
    -A Person can play 1 or more Roles
    -A Role could be played by 1 or More Persons.

    Need details, then get your tables and relationships set up before getting into Forms....

    I think I am going to go with the independant table for attendance instead of storing redundant individual peoples names in the event table.

    I now have the following tables for this: People, Events, Attendance, attendance being the junction table..

    When using a continuous subform with comboboxes (for attendee selection), how do I read each item from these combos with VBA? Should I do it directly through the control or through a query

    see this data model and the Roster table to deal with attendance.
    You really should get your tables and relationships designed to meet your business rules before developing interfaces, forms, reports etc.

    I am using a button to send an email through Outlook. I need to retrieve the names from the comboboxes to set them as recipients.

    I put together this query, which with VBA I can manually insert the current eventID. Is there a simpler way to get the names out of the combobox? (I was manually specifying the eventID instead of using Events.ID) Should I use DAO?

    Code:
    SELECT Q1.FirstName & " " & Q1.LastName AS Attendees
    FROM (SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName FROM Attendance,Events,People WHERE (People.ID=Attendance.EmployeeID) AND (Attendance.EventID = Events.ID))  AS Q1
    GROUP BY Q1.FirstName & " " & Q1.LastName;

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
