Create advanced form design

I have a table within a form specifying talk titles for speakers on one of our conferences. Each time I query the data, the professor/speaker comes up as many times as his talk title and I would like to use word/excel to merge this data into one report for each Professor, detailing talk titles, times etc. I think I have learned today how to avoid this, but please can I be assured on how?

RE: Create advanced form design

Dear Kirsten

Thank you attending the Access Intermediate course. I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

As mentioned after the training it would be better to split your tables using the normalization rules that you learnt. Once the tables have been split properly then you can extract any records or any fileds from any table!!

If you need a reminder of the normalization rules please let me know by replying to this post and I should be able to provide you brief explanation!!

If this post has helped in answering your query then please mark it as resolved!!

Many thanks

Kindest Regards

Access tip:

Random sampling

Data is th key to a good database, therefore checking is essential.

A good way of checking data is by random sampling. You can do this in a query, by typing the follow:
1) In the Field box create a RandonID field eg. Randon Id: Rnd(fieldname])

2) sort the field
3)Right click and chage the properties for To value to be the number of randon records you want to see.

4) Change the set to Show row for Randon ID to be False, add all the other fields you want to see and the run the query.
