Thanks again, just one more question..... I hope  Roll Eyes

Can I design the database, get everything set up, then, once the student has completed the 'code' field entries, import the data into my newly designed database?

My plan to do this, would be to convert the data from Qa4, then have the student do the work. (becomming familiar with sesame in the process). Then, import the data to my design.

Can you see any issues, or problems?

Hi Bob (John_Y_Cannuck),

You will want to have your files merged together in Sesame.
Design them the way you want them to be designed.
Then have the student go through and add the Code values.
Then link the child databases up to the parent database.

Working my way throught the data bases. The full size lot owner database took over an hour to convert from Qa4.

Now I'm working on programming problems, i'm almost done  I think, but I have one I can't solve.

If selection = "1" then fieldname1 = fieldname2; If selection...
it's a long statement with 8 possible selections.
The error message says it's expecting a boolean expression. I'm lost as to where to look for anything that might draw a boolean.
Ideas?

What is the full line of code?

You can narrow it down to the problem line if split that one long line onto 8 seperate lines. ex

If selection = "1" then fieldname1 = fieldname2; If selection...

becomes

If selection = "1" then fieldname1 = fieldname2;
If selection... 
etc.
etc.

This will give you a better idea where the problem is.

Breaking it down line by line, shows the problem to be in the last line, selection '6'

You need to change the last line to
Code
Select All
If SELECTION = "6" then
{
	Flower_Charges = "0.00"
	Planting_Charge1 = "0.00"
}

Ok, now as I'm importing some of the other databases, I get a message telling me there are duplicate reports. I checked, and yes there are. So, I am currently trying to delete some of them. I can't find a referance to this in the manual.  How do you delete a report?

To delete an unwanted report or form in Sesame, you would use the Layout Manager which is covered on pages 119-121 of the Sesame User Guide.

You might want to consider renaming the reports and not delete them until they have all been imported in case they are not duplicates of each other, but only share a common name. 

Might not be necessary in these cases, you know your own databases, I am just conservative by nature, and deleting is always a last step after checks and rechecks.....
