Setting up Survey Database
I am trying to create something of a survey database. I have seen the sample
database "At Your Survey", but I am not sure how to tweak it to what I need. I have a form that is for safety observations. Supervisors will observe procedures and mark them as "safe" or "at-risk". I have a list of things they can observe but they don't necessarily have to observe everything on the list. For example: 1. Stair/Ladder Use 2. Elevated Work They could observe one of these things and mark it as "safe" or "at-risk". I understand the concept of a table for questions and a table for answers and then another table for possible answers for each question. I need all of the possible observations to show up on the form, even if they are not selected as safe or at-risk. I am unsure how to set up the form or the response table from the form. I have been reading all the posts and I know that the "At Your Survey" is a good example, but I just don't know how to modify it so that all my observations show at once on the form. I also would like to have the "safe" and "at-risk" options as option buttons if possible. Thank you. |

Setting up Survey Database
As I recall, you could use "At Your Survey" to build your survey, rather
than using as a model you'd tweak. Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "JS" wrote in message ... I am trying to create something of a survey database.

Setting up Survey Database
I need option buttons instead of combo boxes. I also only need this to
contain one "survey". I don't need response type or numerous surveys. I don't want the user to have to pick what survey they want. I want the form to just open up to the "survey" screen. I tried to use it to fit my application, but it just doesn't seem to fit just right. Around 20 people will be doing these observations monthly. Actually each person has to do four a month. I work for a safety department and we are trying to find our biggest area of concern when it comes to "at-risk" behaviors, as well as those things that we are doing right.

Setting up Survey Database
Option buttons are bound to numeric values. I'm not sure why you just
wouldn't create dropdowns for each question of "Safe" or "At Risk". I suppose you could store 0 or 1 for safe and at-risk. You could set the default values so only a single survey is available. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "JS" wrote: I need option buttons instead of combo boxes.

Setting up Survey Database
TblQuestion
QuestionID Question TblAnswer AnswerID Answer TblAnswertoQuestion AnswertoQuestionID QuestionID AnswerID In TblAnswer, be sure AnswerID for "Safe" is 1 and AnswerID for "At-Risk" is 2. 1) Create a query that includes TblAnswertoQuestion and TblQuestion a) Join QuestionID to QuestionID Type 3 to display all records from TblQuestion and only those records from TblAnswertoQuestion where the joined fields are equal b) Pull into the fields of the query only Question from TblQuestion and AnswerID from TblAnswertoQuestion. 2) Create a continuous form based on the query in 1. a) Use a textbox bound to Question b) Use an option group bound to AnswerID. Make the first option have a value of 1 with the label "Safe" and the second option have a value of 2 with the label "At Risk". c) Make the options option buttons.

Setting up Survey Database
Okay. I am starting to get this to work. I went ahead and made them dropdowns
instead of the option buttons. I was trying to use the option buttons so it would resemble the paper form they will be using when actually performing the observations, but the dropdowns shoudl be fine. I have the default value set for the survey field on the form, however I don't know how to make it where the subform for that survey is already visible upon opening without having to click "Enter Results". Also, I need a button at the bottom to submit the results and prepare the form for another entry. I am really not familiar with writing code. I have been trying to decipher what is there, but I am struggling a bit. I think if I get these buttons in place then I think everything will work. I appreciate your help. Last week I could not get my mind around how to modify the "At Your Survey" to fit my needs, but it seems to be going better now. "Duane Hookom" wrote: Option buttons are bound to numeric values.
