Access 2007, possibly VBA: issue with having to fill out too many fields -
this issue bit complicated explain please bear me. have comp table. table houses salaries of employees. have emp table. see below:
**comp table** **empl table** id: year: salary: id: region: 1 2013 $50000 1 usa 1 2012 $45000 2 canada 1 2011 $40000 etc.. etc.. etc.. 2 2013 $45000 etc.. etc.. etc..
each salary has own year. problem when create new employee have fill out years 2006-2013 queries , reports work. there way can auto fill years no information? can use vba this?
summary: best way create new employee don't have fill out comp table them (but still have queries, forms, , reports work).
you use vba magic automatically populate [comp] table dummy records "back beginning of time", better solution adjust queries , reports handle case such records not exist. silly back-fill [comp] table 7 years of junk data (salary = 0) every new hire, , problem worse time goes (e.g., have back-fill 8 years of junk starting in 2014) , number of new/replacement employees increases.
