Help needed with subform/ query
Based on my understanding of the context and what the goals appear to be, I made the changes I would expect need to be made (with one important exception, as noted in the attached sample accdb). I also created four sample forms, leaving the one for employees assigned to the training for you.
Note that the design includes what are usually referred to as Junction Tables. These are tables needed to resolve many-to-many relationships. Each CDI document is assigned to one or more departments, and each department is assigned one or more CDI documents, both for training required and training responsibility, assuming I interpreted the existing data correctly.
While it doesn't have the simplistic appearance of checkboxes, this approach is more efficient, more reliable, more flexible and easier to report on.
