Ellen,

Okay... no worries about the all caps... I hate it also, looks like
yelling, but I get why you did it.

Right now, I just want to focus on the Bid Schedule so I can get that thru
my *thick* head and then I'll deal with the other questions/comments...

So, if I understand the below... The Bid Schedule is attached to the
Property and there will always be only one date in that field. If that is
true then it only needs to be in tblProperty. Having it in tblCompany
serves no purpose unless I missed something.

tblProperty
pBidSchedule
pCompanyID --- tblCompanyContacts (ccCompanyID)

OR

tblProperty
pBidSchedule
pCompanyID --- tblCompany --- tblCompanyContacts

The query can be run either way.

THIS IS HOW I WANT TO USE THE BID SCHEDULES. EACH PROPERTY IS UNDER
CONTRACT FOR THEIR LANDSCAPING. AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE CONTRACTS EXPIRE SO
COMPANIES GO TO BID. SOMETIMES A COMPANY CONTACT BIDS ALL THEIR PROPERTIES
AT THE SAME TIME OR SOMETIMES EACH PROPERTY HAS A DIFFERENT BID DATE. I
WANT
TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THAT AND BE ABLE TO SET ALERTS TO REMIND US THAT THOSE
DATES ARE APPROACHING SO WE REMEMBER TO REACH OUT TO THEM VIA THE DIFFERENT
ACTIVITIES OR SUBMIT A BID AT THE RIGHT TIME. SO, I WANT TO HAVE A BID
SCHEDULE FIELD (WHICH WILL SIMPLY BE A DATE) FOR THE COMPANY CONTACTS AND
FOR
EACH PROPERTY. I WANT TO HAVE THE OPTION ON THE PROPERTY TO CHOOSE THE
COMPANY CONTACT BID SCHEDULE DATE OR ENTER A NEW ONE IF THEY ARE DIFFERENT.
SO, ESSENTIALLY THERE IS JUST ONE DATE THAT WILL SHOW UP IN THE BID SCHEDULE
FIELDS. THEY MAY BE DIFFERENT DATES, BUT THEY WILL BE SINGULAR DATES
ALWAYS.
DOES THAT HELP?
