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;

    Thank you Gina.

    I have been trying that. I'll keep trying. Maybe I should just get rid of the INNER JOINS, I never intended to use those and I don't know where they come from. I'm actually on a generator right now as our power went out so I'm going to log off and write everything by hand. We are due for four feet of snow tonight.

    Good luck this week, and hope all goes well for you.

    Thank you Gina,

    I have read the article and it does make sense. I keep trying with various SQL statements in my row source but so far this is the best SQL statement and the closest I can get, but doesn't remove the therapists from the other clinics.

    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])) ORDER BY tlkpTherapist.tLast;

    I keep re-writing the SQL hoping to finally hit on it, but so far no luck. I have over 40 various SQL statements so far, so hopefully I'll just randomly hit on something that solves the problem and narrows down the therapists. I've also tried changing my tables around but that seems to make things worse.

    Good luck with your week, and hope all goes smoothly and quickly for you.

    Oh my gosh, that is it. Thank you so much Gina. I didn't know about that type of WHERE statement.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!!
