I'm trying to create a tours form which includes a field for pick up points
and times, what would be the best way of going about this field so that data
can be entered via the form rather than the table and also so the booking
information form can retrieve the list to allow selection of data?

Posting the same question five times in two different newsgroups is
not necessary and will not get you a faster answer.

If you must post in multiple newsgroups (it's rarely neccessary, most
of the volunteers cover several) please crosspost rather than
multipostiong; i.e. put two or three (*never more*) newsgroup names in
the Newsgroups line. And have just a little bit of patience waiting
for a volunteer to reply rather than reposting when you don't get an
instant answer - this isn't a chat room, and nobody here is paid to
answer your questions; we're all volunteers.

It seems that most of the multiposts come from people using
the web interface. Does the web interface even allow
cross-posting?

Yes... but it's not nearly as simple or as obvious as with a true
newsreader. And there are a couple of flavors of the web interface, or
at least there used to be.

I apologise for the "multiposting" but when I posted I seemed to get crashed
out of the system so I wasn't sure it had posted. Now I know it worked I
won't feel the need to keep trying!
Basically I have a database for a coach tour operator company and the user
will enter the tour information into the "tours" table. This will include
anything up to 10 different locations and times for pick ups for each tour. I
can't input the information on development because each tour will vary
considerably...it has to be the data inputter. I am unsure which type of box
to use to allow multiple entries. The "Booking Information" form hopefully
should be able to look up the various pick up times for the customer's chosen
tour in order for them to select the most convenient one for them. The only
way I can see that is through a combo box but what can I use in the "tours"
form to allow the tour operator to input the information in the first place?
I'm sorry if I didn't make it very clear the first time round, I hope I've
clarified it a little more. Thanks for being patient!
