Using MS Access to create a Product Baseline
Using MS Access to create a Product Baseline
(OP)
I'm trying to create a product basline (parts list, BOM, or similar by any other name) using MS Access (it's what I have available). My end goal is to be able to do a where-used search on a particular part number and see what assemblies it is used in.
Has anyone accomplished something like this? Can you point me to a web page or downloadable example?
Thanks,

Say, tblAssemblies and tblParts.
In tblAssemblies you would have a record for each part used in the assembly, with a field for Partnumber
This should be related to the Parts table via the Partnmber field.
Then a query could easily be made to list all the assemblies using a particalar parts.
In essence, you need to learn about normalising databases!
