I am using Access 2000. I have two tables like this...
art
artid (primary key)
title
description
artist
color
colorid (primary key)
artid (foreign key)
RGB
....where there are always exactly three records in color corresponding
to each record in art.
I am trying to allow the user to print out all of the art records and
their associated colors. If I come at this as a form/subform, it won't
let me show continuous forms, only single forms. Since there can be
hundreds of art records, printing out one at a time is not a useful
idea.
So I am trying to create a form in datasheet view like this:
art.artid, art.title, art.description, art.artist, color.RGB(1),
color.RGB(2), color.RGB(3)
In other words, instead of a form/subform scenario, I want the three
records from the color table to be "fields" in each form "record".
I tried to figure out how to use a cross-tab query, but I get hundreds
and hundreds of records since there can be so many different RGB
values.
I'm somehow not thinking this through properly, likely due to being
unfamilair with Access.
Help?
