Hi -
Please keep in mind that I'm an amateur!
I'm am designing a database that allows users to match
their interests with places that they can travel to. For
example, people interested in art should visit Paris or
New York.
I have a table with the traveler's information such as
name, etc...just basic demographics. I have another
table with a list of interests. The travelers table
contains a primary key of travelerid. The interest table
contains a primary key of interestid. This table also
contains a field, travelerid. Ive linked the two tables
together by the these two fields.
Now, I'm lost as to where to go. I need to have the user
enter their demographic information, then enter choose
their interests from the interests table and have those
interest choices match up and return results on where
they should travel to. Again, if someone chooses art as
one interest and painting as another, I need those two
interests to be "keywords" and pull results from a cities
table that would show Paris, New York, San Francisco,
etc...
How can I design this? How many more tables do I need to
create and how can I link the tables together? Which
fields do I need and which fields do I link to each
other?
What about forms? Do I need to create certain forms for
this? If so, how should I create the forms?
Or, is there a way to create a query that will return the
desired results and have the results displayed on a
form? Is that possible?
Please help! Thanks!
