Hello everyone

My first in a series of questions I guess... I was wondering what a
logical way to go about establishing a database would be. My database
that I have built right now tracks approximately 300 personnel and has
approximately 100 fields... Its tough using the documenter and
squinting my way through all of those... Im sure there has to be a
better way than a combination of memory and reading the analysis of the
database. If not, than Im a good reader already

See my response to your earlier post.

In your earlier post you indicated you have about 15 tables, so I presume
you have somewhat 'normalized' you design and those 100 fields are spread
about the 15 tables, if not -- get the data structure right first.

In your development you should have seen the 'realtionship' page where you
connect your tables together using a GUI (graphics user interface). That is
a good place to 'see' the various tables and relationships.
