How do I create a Cross Tab Look alike, which I can update ?

[ShaneBrennan]

I have this problem - something which I would think Access would be
able to do, but can I find a way - can I buggery.

I posted a message yesterday asking for help with an update able cross
tab - but I think I did not describe the problem correctly.

I'm working on a program to record student grades in a college. I have
normalised my tables into tblAssignments, tblStudents and tblResults.

tblAssignments has a list of assignment codes and descriptions
tblStudents has all the necessary student details and
tblresults has the link between tblAssignments & tblStudents with their
awarded grade.

Example contents of tblResults:

AssignmentID StudentID Grade
AVCE1-1-1 1 P
AVCE1-1-1 2 P
AVCE1-1-1 3 P
AVCE1-1-1 4 M
AVCE1-1-1 5 P
AVCE1-1-2 4 P
AVCE1-1-2 5 P

I wish to create a table/query or form that display and allow the
UPDATE of the tblResults, in a format similar to the following:

StudentID AVCE1-1-1 AVCE1-1-2
1 P
2 P
3 P
4 M P
5 P P

If I wanted to display the information, I can do it with a cross tab, but
I'm looking for ways of allowing the users to input the results for their
course/students/unit in a more user-friendly format.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks Shane.

Use a Crosstab query result as the recordsource for another query.
