Default Help with normalization

Milton

When you say "project", I hear "task" ... are you saying that a "Job" can
have many "Projects"?

Wouldn't the start/stop dates HAVE to be related to/tied to specific
"projects"? (e.g., "foundation")

Would your "projects" have one (and only one) "checkoff", or could they have
many? If many, it sounds like you'd need a one-to-may relationship between
"projects" and "project-checkoffs" (and I'm guessing, a one-to-many
relationship between "checkoffs" and "project-checkoffs"!).

More info, please...

I have a table that I need to normalize. It has dates that must be stored,
they are project stop and end points, like foundation started, foundation
completed. What is the best way to store dates? Should they be a separate
table by themselves with just a key? I then have :
Project number
Project School District
Project Building
Project Description
Comments
Some check boxes for N\A
Some check boxes for inspected\inspector
Many thanks!!!!
