[Solved] Music collection again, sorry

Post by OldMan63 »

After a HD crash, I lost my base music collection. The mp.3 files, lucky me, I had on a external HDD and on USB sticks as back-up.

I was looking after my old music file here and I need an other with some improvements.

In the base form Media: Media I don't need it. In the calc file I have 2 new columns: Location HDD and Location USB. Is it possible to implant it in the music .odb .
The old one is made by Villeroy and is it possible to make one Form like Form Performers with the improvements from the calc file?
Sorry, but it is difficult for me.... I don't get it wel, after a lot of tryings.

See if this will work for you.
I added 2 tables "Location" lists all the possible locations and can be edited with the Form document Locations
"Loc_Title" is an intersection table similar to "Media_Title" that allows multiple locations be selected for each song as indicated by your spreadsheet. That table can be view/edited using either Performers01 or Title01
I added a query qListBoxLocation for use by the List boxes on the added Form documents.
I also added a query qAllByLocation that could be used to generate a report listing all the songs by location. I did not generate a report.
It appears your report was generated with the OO default report writer. Most users switch to the more powerful Oracle-report-builder extension.
