Not an answer to your question, but if you are in the US, keep in mind the
HIPAA privacy and security requirements, Pat. an Access
database cannot be completely secured, so you have to consider whether it
will satisfy HIPAA regulations.

Being a newbie to access, I have been given a task of creating a db for the
patient management and tracking. This DB will have around 50 patients per
year. It will contain the history of patient's contact info, pediatrician,
case manager,Genetic center info, Insurance info and so on. I have created
the tables. pls review them and suggest me your ideas to improve the DB, as
mine maynot be best.
