I have a small database I use to track some cleanliness issues in our facility. We keep track of the deficiencies through a multi-select combo box.
Example the break room and bathroom are both dirty so we check those 2 boxes out of the 20 or so options.
Since that list is a table I run a report against a query based on that table to get the "current inspection form"
Later I can query and see that the bathroom always shows as dirty.
Pretty much everything worked just like I needed until now. I have been asked to track the same things but now I need to split up responsibility for some of those items. The split up is always the same; for simplicity sake we can say that the same 4 people all have an interest in each of the areas that are now being split up.
So on the sections that need to be split up, I now need to be able to provide 4 check boxes instead of the 1 check inside the combo box.
I realize I can probably manipulate the form in VBA to show what I am asking, but I am really interested in how do I modify the table structure to make this work. I would like to not rewrite the DB. I know this is a good example of why not to use multi-select combo boxes, but I need to move beyond that.
What I wanted to do was simply add a table to show the responsibility parties split and add a yes/no column to the various inspection items that indicate the split should occur, but I could not figure out how to store the data after that. Also I could not figure out how to make the sub-report appear only when the split box was checked yes.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
