[QUOTE="lmcc007, post: 13204815"] I am using Access 2007. I am trying to create a job searching database. The problem I am having is the phone number field. Sometimes there may be six different phone numbers. In all the examples I have looked at, they have all separate fields—that is, Work Phone, Home Phone, Car Phone, and so on. Is there a better way to set this up? Is there a way to save data from four different fields into one field? I have the following fields: PhoneType1 = Business Phone1 PhoneType2 = Business 2 Phone2 PhoneType3 = Business Fax Phone3 PhoneType4 = Mobile Phone4 As you can see above that Phone type is repeated over and over again. There should be no duplicates phone numbers for a company. The phone numbers needs to be in one column in order to sort, filter, and find. Also, I want the four PhoneType fields to always be displayed on my form until I decide to change the type it. Any suggestions?
