Hi,
Just wondering if any one is good at creating reports through access?
I need to be able make a report for each "patient" which includes all the "treatments" recieved. At the moment all I can get is all of the "patients" with all of their "treatments".
I have no idea what to do ...
Ideally I'd like to be able to select a patient (preferably from a drop down box) and then have their "treatment" history come up in a report.
Any ideas would be appreciated :D
Thanks
Just type medical patient templates or something similar into google. There's heaps of free templates to choose from. Just find the ones you need and cut and paste into a new document.Quote:

templates wont work in this case.. its been a while since i used access but from what i can make out it will take a fair bit of work to give you exactly what you need.. the key is to ensure your data is being stored correctly.. you need to create a form that you can enter data into so that each customers info is stored with their treatments and not seperately (im probably stating the obvious?) then create a seperate form that will allow you to retrieve the data recorded earlier by a number of criteria such as date: patient name & or number even treatment type.
you can then produce reports in the same fashion.. the problem with reports is that they will often spit out all the data available unless you explicitely have a filter for something in particular like the customers name..
yeah a fair bit of coding required...
You can PM me if you like as in real life I'm a Database Administrator (or at least that is one of my many many hats)
Without a copy of the database you are using it will be difficult though. How soon do you need it?
Wow!
Now there is an offer of a "Senior Player" :thumbsup:
We know you were just about ready to make the same offer, but he beat you to it.Quote:

It's not that hard - Access used to have a standard report thingy's - or wizards - use the wizard the wizard is your new best friend.
Start by creating a query for the treatment for each patient - upon entry into the query it should ask for the patient name - you can dp this by changing the format of the patient name box - - once done then you can get smart and change this box to a "combo" box so that it points to a "list" of patient names.
Then create a report based on that query - will end up with a list in a combo box at the start of the report - used to do this sort of thing a lot for mine sites...
Should crunch through it quite easily without resorting to SQL (not for the faint hearted)
