Help with table design

I am building a database of financial deals for companies.

I will build a table with company details, including a field called
txtcompany and then another table with the details of the deals with a field
called txtdealnbr and also a field called txtcompany to link to tblcompany.
For each txtdealnbr there will be a field called txttotalline which
represents the value of the deal.

Now comes my question. Each deal needs to be analysed to show what percentage
of the deal is either any one of 7 categories. So a deal could be 50% cat1,
20% cat4, 10% cat5 and 20% cat6. However the user wants to be able to view on
a form all 7 categories even in the %age is zero. So do I have 7 fields to
hold the percentage value for each category or do I build a table of
categories and if I do how do I show the value of each on my form? How would
I construct the tables and theirrelationships.

Hope I've explained that clearly, any help would be apppreciated.
Thanks
Tony
