Report from 2 tables
Hi
Just wanted to get some advice before I attempt to make a report that will use 2 tables as source material. Basically, my database stores information on a sport. One table is a list of teams and their historical venues/successes etc The second table is a list of the teams annual results. The report I want to make will be a page per team report, that at the top shows the data from the 'venues' table, so where there are more than one venue, it would need to 'loop' through the table to show all venues As far as the 'successes' (League Championships/cup wins etc) goes, I wouldn't want that in the loop! (IE only show it once per team. Below this venue and successes data, I want to show the annual results from the second table. This is where I would value this groups advice. Do I need to link the tables using relationships, and have the second section as a sub-report of the first? Many thanks Neil |

Report from 2 tables
One table is a list of teams and their historical venues/successes etc
I would suggest separating teams from their historical venues/successes etc. Team table to only contain information that is not related to dates, games, tournements, series, etc. If you will keep stats on players of the team then use another table for players and still another for their records. Your query would use a left join from team table to their records table. Using a left join lets you display the team even if they do not have a record in the joined table. -- Build a little, test a little.

Report from 2 tables
You haven't suggested the relationship between the two tables. If it is one
to many than you can use a query that joins the tables as the record source. If you have many to many, you need to use a subreport to display one of the "many" tables. This subreport would be located in a group header or footer for the common field. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP " wrote: Hi Just wanted to get some advice before I attempt to make a report that will use 2 tables as source material.

Many thanks Neil .- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The common field will be the team name, and yes, there are many occurences in the results table - one per year generally, and as mentioned, if the team moved venue, then in the first table (venues/ successes), there will also be 'many' I've a thought to make a 3rd table and split out the trophies bit (successes) so that the venues is purely stadium/track data Would the report still work with 3 tables? I presume it's then just about the relationship with many to many joins? Neil |

Report from 2 tables
I don't understand your table structures. I don't know if they are normalized
or not. The solutions both Marsh and I have suggested should work for displaying data in your report. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP " wrote: On 10 May, 15:57, Duane Hookom wrote: You haven't suggested the relationship between the two tables.
