In my database I have a small Main table which houses a record per
individual, and then links to 5 tables with 'many' records each which
represent different types of characteristics for each individual, their
personality traits, experiences, etc.. I have written a form which allows the
user to select value for each or any combination of the 5 charactertics
(housed in individual tables). I have the form field names as parameters in
my query and this works when tested just one field at a time. I can't get
the query to work when I try to use all 5 parameters. I want the the form
field variables to seems invisible if the user didn't populate them with a
value. I have tried setting them to null,"". I have each of the 5 tables
linked to main with an autonumber key. I perhaps am confused about the
construction of my query - criteria, and versus or?? I query the 5 fields in
the five tables in the query -- but the form will not necessarily populate
all 5 fields with 'real' values. I hope this makes sense.
Any help appreciated.
