Default Table/Forms Design Question

I am Trying to create Daily Reports for my company.
I created tables for Carpenters, Laborers, Surveyors, Ironworkers etc.
Each of these has fields *_Name, #ofForeman, #ofWorkers, #ofLaborers.
ex.
"Carpenters Table
CarpentersName Foreman Worekman Laborer
Joe 2 1 5
Bill 1 5 2
"
"Laborers Table
LaborersName Foreman Worekman Laborer
Frank 1 1 0
"
And so on (you get the picture)

Now are those tables Normalized? I know I am repeating Foreman,Workman &
Laborer in each one of them but each of these tables has different Names and
different quantaties of people.

I created a form for Carpenters - A tabular form so I see All names for each
Carpenter in seperate box and next to them their Foreman/Workman/Laborer.
I also included a total column at the end which adds up each row. I can edit
the fields each day and the total is changing. (thats good)

The problem is I have to create a Form for Each Table seperately.
Can I put Table CArpenter/ Laborer/ etc.. into one form and be able to view
it and edit like I can the single Carpenters Form? I cant seem to make it
work.

Im reading all these access books and I cant find the answers I am looking
for anywhere.

I also created a Querie that sum up all Foreman for each Name each workman
for each name and so on. Plus a final total Column which sums up everyone. It
works great, BUT when I try to make it show up on the Form I cant. I can do
it as a footer but it does not automatically update when I change the values.
I have to close it and come back in. Why is that?

I know I am asking a lot and I hope you guys can help me.
Thank you
