My company builds custom designed products different from customer to
customer. Each order may refer to only one reference or several references
from a customer. I’ve got a table of ORDERS where I keep a record of the
Order, PK number type, manual input. This table is linked by this Order field
to a second table of REFERENCES where the Reference is PK, string type,
manual input. My Reports and Forms are working nicely. I also have several
orders without any product defined, because we have to wait for the
customer’s answer. This brings me to a problem: I want to list the Orders
without a reference attached. Is it possible to build a query like this? If I
specify in the query the REFERENCES table it automatically eliminates the
“empty†orders… What about completely delivered orders? I know I could define
a field on the ORDERS table like “Order closed†but an order may have 3 or 4
different references. It would be difficult to verify the order state through
its references. Each one may be delivered on quite different dates so I’ve
set a “Delivered†(Yes/No) field on each reference to “close†each one of
them. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thx all.
