It would be better to have an employees table and a company table, if later you are going to want to filter by company.
 
i.e.
 
EmpID    Employee Name    CompanyID                            CompanyID    Company Name
1            Bob                    1                                        1                 BT
etc..
 
in you example you would have to
 
SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE company_name = 'BT'
ORDER BY Employee_name

Subject: [cf-dev] [ cf-dev ] RE: how do you search for specific items on a form


hi guys,

i have created a form and when infomration is inserted, it works fine and
gets stored in my access db.  Now the way the form is made is that it has
many categories,ie
employee name
company name
country
postition etc....


now there are many tutorials which enable me to display all the data in my
table, but how can i just retrieve say all employees from BT to be
displayed.  P.s i have stored all of the above categories in one table, is
this the right way to do it?

cheers

sanjay
