Best way to add info to a table or query
This is probably a very obvious question, but being new to Access I am
looking for some help... I am tracking registrants for a conference, some of whom will be exempt from paying the attendance fee. I would like to create a form that lists the registrants who *might* be exempt, and then add a checkbox for the DB user to indicate if the registrant is exempt or not. I would then like to store this data in the master list of registrants, so at any time I can pull up my master list and see all registrants and whether they are exempt or not. I've created a query of all registrants, and based on that query I've created another that lists possibly exempt registrants. I've created a form based on the "possibly exempt" query, but when I try to create a checkbox in that form to indicate if the entry is "exempt," I am having trouble. Perhaps this is because there is no "exempt" field in the query, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to add a new field in a query. Any help? Sorry, I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I'm just not familiar enough with Access to see it. |

Best way to add info to a table or query
For this you will first need to add the field to the table. It should be a
Yes/No data type. The open your query in design view and you will then be able to add the field to the query. To make it show only those exempt, put True in the Criteria row for the field.

Best way to add info to a table or query
Thanks so much for your response - I've tried this, but have not been able to
add a new field to the table - this table is linked to an online text file and apparently I am unable to change properties of a linked table. Is there any way around this?
