Hi Drew! I am happy to see that you are ready to continue with this project. We certainly didn't make it for the Nov. 15 date. Well, we do what we can.
The last part of the tutorial has to do with explaining how to code the design that was developed in the previous parts of the tutorial. I am planing to start with the the input interface for clients and their phone numbers (this includes the MDs and psychiatrists tables too). The tricks here are including an automatic time stamp and having the ADD PHONE button work every time it is called. This single button is very important because is archetypical of all one-to-many conditions and a resource that people using base might use often. I understand that this will require using OOoBasic Script, which I find very exciting, and the use of the UNO object or something like this. Of course, I am counting on you to show me how to do it. What I have in mind is that I ask you as a layman and you answer as an expert. By the way, I remember that you said that the Phone number table would also require a one-to-many relationship with the Patient table (instead of the one-to-one I had declared. The complete set of cardinals I had declared was 1..n (from patient to phone record) and 1..1 (from phone record to patient). I am still confused as of why and hope that you can enlighten me. The other thing that we need is to show how to use the contents of a table to appear in a drop-down list, for example, the name of the psychiatrists, but then make sure that the Key and not the name is recorded as the foreign key. These four elements would be a good starting point. As you can see, I pretty much follow the questions I had for you related to the input forms drafts I sent you, skipping the ones that get repeated. You had offered joining on a virtual whiteboard or something like that. Let me know is this is still possible and how and when we could do it. Otherwise, your textual explanations and my constant questions would do. On a related note, Jane is working on a Base manual and she thinks that some of the text in our project could be useful. I am updating some elements in the tutorial (like deletion options and relationships) and would like you to review them before I send them to her. Just in case I don't hear from you before Thanksgiving day: Happy Thanksgiving Day!!
