Hi all,

I think I have a simple requirement but obviously not as I can't get it
working as I want.

I would like to add an entity "Meeting Type" (can do that)

Then I want to assign various contacts to various meeting types. Each
contact can be associated with many meeting types and each meeting type has
various contacts associated.

I can get it so I can assign a meeting type to a contact and a contact to a
meeting type but I can't work out how to get CRM to show many meetings types
against a contact or many contacts against a meeting.

Any ideas? What have I missed?

Thanks.

Microsoft CRM does not support many to many relationships which I think you
are trying to do. To get around this you can add another entity to act as a
connection entity. You would create a 1 to many relationship from this
entity to the contact and a 1 to many from this entity to the meeting type
etc

Hi Sarah,

You'll need to create another entity which will serve as linking table. This
entity should contain a one-to-many relationship with Meeting Type and a
one-to-many relationship with Contact. You can then connect many meeting
types to many contacts.

Hope this helps,

I am not sure how this would work - I understand the principle and did try it
but in practise I got lost somewhere.

I create an entity Meeting Types and put in lots of meeting types.

eg. Mother's Meetings, Union Meetings, Church Meetings, Business Meetings etc.

I then create an entity Meeting Groups.

I create a 1-to-Many relationship between the two.

How do I see the many meeting types under a meeting group?

That is my problem I think, having created a one-to-many relationship I can
still only seem to get a single look-up on the form and not a list where I
can select and add like you can with adding Contacts to Accounts for example.

Sorry, I may be being thick but I've got so bogged down with this...
