Physical Therapy Project

I am now starting a physical therapy project.

Here are my relationships so far:

So far the queries I have built are working good and giving me nice results.

My first question is basically about concatenating data.

Example 1:  I have 35 therapists. All therapists have at least one degree. About 16 therapists out of the 35 therapists have two or three degrees. What is the best way to concatenate their degrees?  By using the concatenate & in a string? My problem is that there are various amounts of degrees, so I'm not finding it easy to concatenate their degrees unlike their names - for example, FullName: [tFirst] & " " & [tLast] Or is there another way to handle this? I don't plan on creating a search by degree, but that may occur in the future.

Example 2:  The therapists and their Status. Some therapists are Per Diem (on call), some therapists are part time, and so on. Some therapists have more than one status (a few are part time and per diem). What's the best way to handle this so their status appears on one line? Would waiting until building the reports be best before handling this, and putting it in reports? I will be having a search by status, especially for the Per Diems therapists.

Example 3:  Some therapists work 1 day a week; some work 2 days; some 3; some 4; some 5; and some work 6 days a week. I have the days entered, but I won't get to building a table with therapists and their days until later. I'm assuming I will have to figure out a way similar to the above two examples to have the days show up nicely. Or should that also wait until I do reports? There will be a search for days by Therapy Type (ie, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Wound Therapy).

I hope my question is making sense. Thank you for your time and help.

Hmm, just realized you need your WHERE statement to include both Visit and Clinic...

SELECT tblClinicTherapist.ctTherapistID, tlkpClinic.cName, [tFirst] & " " & [tLast] AS FullName

FROM (tlkpTherapist INNER JOIN (tlkpClinic INNER JOIN tblClinicTherapist ON tlkpClinic.cClinicID = tblClinicTherapist.ctClinicID) ON tlkpTherapist.tTherapistID = tblClinicTherapist.ctTherapistID) INNER JOIN tblClinicTherapistVisit ON tblClinicTherapist.ctClinicTherapistID = tblClinicTherapistVisit.ctvClinicTherapistID

WHERE (((tblClinicTherapistVisit.ctvVisitID)=[Forms]![frmSearch]![cboVisit]) AND ((tlkpClinic.cClinicID)=[Forms]![frmSearch]![cboClinic]))

ORDER BY tlkpTherapist.tLast;

    Okay, I'll be around but going into *development* mode, so may be slow to answer.

    Hmm, no kids?  I learned to block out what I call *background noise*.  That said noise THAT loud might make me crazier than I am.

    Thank you Gina. I never added the extra quotes because the IDs are usually in the first column. I pulled up the report to doublecheck where the record source is, and I've pulled up the record source query and everything looks normal. I'm going to go back a couple days and pull up that record source query to compare both to see if anything has changed over the last few days. I tend to make about five copies each day before doing something different as it's so noisy here (engineers have measured it at an average of 90 dB all day long, lawnmowers are 80 dB) so it's hard to concentrate.

    I'll be back with an update soon.

    While it is definitely the Therapist having the Full Name is not the problem.  Do you have the Therapist ID in the Recordsource of the Report?  And I said to only switch to the Text strWhere if the first column of the combo box is the Fill Name.  If it's the ID then you need to use the numeric delimiters you had the first time around.

    I just played with it a little more.

    The search button works if the form is not filled out, ie no choices selected, and the correct report opens up. The search button also works if Visit is selected but no Therapist is selected, and the correct report also opens up. When Therapist is selected, the button does not work. So maybe the problem is indeed what I originally thought a few posts above this, maybe related to FullName: [tFirst} & " " & [tLast] or something in the Row Source???
