    Simple database problems

    I'm trying to make a simple database to help my fire department with putting together running routes. I'm having an issue with getting the one to many relationship working correctly as well as a dlookup function continually gets a #Name? error. How should I upload my DB so you guys can help me out.

    On the Post New Thread / Post Reply form (not the Quick Reply form), there's a paper clip icon for attaching files to your post.

    Just be clear which version you're using in your post; someone with the right experience will answer.

    So I'm going through and making directions to all the major intersections from the firehouse. This happens under the intersections table and form.

    Then I want to use the routes table and form to make specific directions to streets and splits. To make this faster I want a listbox(Intersection Name) to select the nearest major thru intersection for that address. After selecting that intersection I want it to copy that intersections directions to the runningroute field which I will then add the few remaining directions to finish that route.

    I think DLookup is the function I want to bring the intersection route from the intersection table to my runningroute field in the route form. However, I can't get it to work correctly, and I've tried several different formats/syntax. I'm also having a relationship issue with 72route form creating an entry in the 72route table even though I have the one to many relationship set up.

    Note I also want it to save the nearest intersection that I select to be referenced later when I export the information to be printed.

    This is in access 2007, I hope I explained my problems well enough.

    Relationship issues fixed
    This is an updated file.
    Still having problems getting the IntersectionRoute value moved to the RunningRoute field in the 72Routes form when I select an IntersectionName.

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