I am trying to create a form in Access based on a table and I would like to use the table’s rowdata as the column title in the form.

What I mean is, I have a table as follows which shows the effort booked by employees towards specific projects on a monthly basis:

ProjectNo  EmployeeName  HoursBooked  Month/Year
23            Mark          68         01/01/2012
23            Mark          55         01/02/2012
54            John          22         01/02/2012
23            John          52         01/02/2012

…etc

and from this I would like to create a singular form where the data is displayed as follows for each project. For example, for project 23:

Month/Year   Mark     John
01/01/2012   68        0
01/02/2012   55        52

and someone should be able to go to this form, edit the numbers and the table should reflect these changes.

Could someone guide me on how to achieve this? I have been trying to achieve this in Access but unfortunately my Forms knowledge is not that great.

Thanks!

    Use the wizard to create a crosstab query. It will give you what you want. You can set the Source Object of Subform Control to Query.NameOfCrosstabQuery.

    However, you will not be able to edit form data based on a crosstab.

    It is possible that someone will see an alternative solution if you say why you wish to present the data in this way.

    EDIT some details on a possible approach: http://wiki.lessthandot.com/index.php/Crosstabs%2C_forms_and_updating
