Could anyone tell me the name of the field for "collector" in R6? Is it NAME_KEY in SURVEY_EVENT_RECORDER?

Could anyone tell me the name of the field for "collector" in R6? Is it NAME_KEY in SURVEY_EVENT_RECORDER?

Name_key in survey event recorder with a link to the individual table to get the actual name does hold the recorders for a survey event, but there is bit more to the structure than this. Survey_Events can have mutiple Recorders so Survey_Event_Recorder holds mutiple entries for one event. Table Sample_Recorder identifies which of the recorders in Survey_Event_Recorder apply to a particular sample (minimum one)
The report wizard uses the User Defined Function dbo.FormatEventRecorders which despite its name, takes the sample key and returns the recorders for the sample as a comma separted string.

Mike.
You say, helpfully, that "Table Sample_Recorder identifies which of the recorders in Survey_Event_Recorder apply to a particular sample (minimum one). My situation is this: the term collector appears not to exist in R6. Instead, the term original recorder is used. The name that I want is that of the original recorder. Will the key that you have specified give me that? If not, is there another key that will? I want to set up a filter on original recorder.
Bob
The problem is that there can be mutiple recorders for a record. This makes the structure for getting at the recorder fairly complex. To filter on a recorder (observer, collector etc.) you would need to link sample (the actual record), sample recorder, survey event recorder and individual and look for the elements you want to filter on (eg Title, initials, forename, surname) in the individuals table.

Thanks, Mike.
It seems a fundamenrtal drawback to me that there is no easy way in R6 to distinguish between the originator of a record (collector/observer) and the person who determined the identity of the species involved, if different from the originator.

Recorder does have a determiner. It is held in the Taxon_Determination table in the Determiner field. This field contains the name key of the Determiner and is mandatory.
