Re: How do I create an Exploded Parts List in Access?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



If you know how deep the BOM is, you can create a query that includes the
part table as many times as there are levels. You draw join lines from the
parent id of one instance to the child id of the next instance to connect
the tables.

If you don't know how deep the BOM is, you need to write a recursive code
routine to walk the tree. I don't have any code samples but you should be
able to find one if you search.
