creating a table
You would not store inforamtion from Table x in Table y, so making changes
in table X would be irrelavent. The only thing you'd store in both tables would be the employee number... TblEmployee EmployeeNumber EmplLastName EmpFirstName EmpStartDate EmpTermDate EmpDepartment EmpAddress1 EmpAddress2 EmpCity etc. TblTraining EmployeeNumber (from the other table) ClassNumber ClassDate ClassGrade etc. TblClasses ClassNumber ClassName etc. MS Access is a "relational" database whoch means that the data should be stored in separate "related" tables. You never store redndent data in more than one table. In the above information, each employee would have one record in the employee table. For every class they attend, they would have one related record in the Training table. The training table uses data from the Classes table. -- Rick B "carlien nagel" carlien wrote in message ...
