Hi, I already tried asking this question in another thread but I'm not sure I
was understood correctly.
I am creating an ordering system for which there are at present two main
tables.
Orders and Order_Details
Obviously, Orders contains the main details of an Order, whilst
Order_Details contains each item in that order. Now I need to be able to
create a delivery note, which will display the fields from Orders as well as
which ever items are to be sent in that particular delivery.
To solve this I am creating a third table called Delivery_Notes which is
linked to a field called Orders_Items_ID in Order_Details and my thinking is
that Delivery_Notes will generate a delivery note number which i can use to
refer back to delivery notes. Is this the best way to do this or can anyone
think of a better way of doing this?
Basically for any one order there could potentially be multiple delivery
notes, but each delivery note could also have multiple items on it. So I need
to generate a delivery note number but I need to be able to attach the same
number to multiple items.
My system is getting complex now and my head is hurting so can anyone
explain in clear english what I need to do rather than just giving me loads
of code and not telling me where to apply it
