I am getting a message about having an ambiguious outer joinin one attempt
and duplicate records in another.
I have a database containing information from all of the football plays in a
game.
I have many tables but 4 of them are "main", "formation", "play",
"playdiagram"
The main table has the following fields
[mainid]
score
time
formationid
runid
the formation table has many fields including
[formationid]
formationfamily
backfield
variation
strength
the play table has the following fields (it consists of both a formation and
a play)
playid
formationid
runid
playdiagramid
the playdiagram table has the following fields (there can be many different
ways to run the same play)
playdiagramid
playdiagram
This is really a query so that I can have one form and enter all of my
information on that one form. There for I am trying to link the tables
together. The main table should be the table with many records, the formation
table should be linked to the main table via [formationid] on both tables.
This I have done and have had no problem with.
The play table should be linked to the main table with both the
[formationid] fields as well as the [runid] field. This is where my problem
is. I have tried to create a relationship with arrows on a one to many
relationship and it will not work.
The last step would be to link the play and playdiagram fields together.
This would be done through the [playdiagramid] field.
In the query that I preformed I got duplicates for each record in my
results. (2 records of each record) or when I get real number of records
entered in the database I am not able to enter information into the play
table or the playdiagram table.
I hope this makes sense and I greatly appreciate your suggestions for a
better way to do it or your input. Thanks for your time! This problem is
driving me close to crazy!
