Hi Sandra,

In order to answer your last question:

I know you're having some trouble on this first step for your medium
complexity situation, but most people would, and that's what this design
discussion group is for. Are you somewhat fluent on the the basics of Access
design, like queries, forms etc?

Will this dtatbase need to be used by other people who will know absolutely
nothing about Access? If so, you will probably need to get substantial help
from a developer.

How much time to you have to get this up and running?
