Hi All

order number

qty due

in third normal form?

RE: normalisation

Hi Paul

Yes. The table is in Third normal form.

A table is in Third normal form, if it is a table with a single primary key where ALL the fields relate to the primary key.

In your table you seem to have 2 order identifiers:

Order ref as a Autonumber seems to be the Primary key and a Order Number.

RE: normalisation

I have done this because I was told elsewhere that primary keys should ALWAYS be autonumber, even though my order number fields will be unique


 

Access tip:

Pop up property

If you want to focus the attention of a form / switchboard to a user then you can change the propeties of a form/switchboard for Pop up to On.

This meand tht the focus for the user must be on the form / switchboard
