Using Access Database for collecting information entered into FP forms

[John Phelan-Cummings]

I have two forms:

1. Registration Form for a Forum Area that ask for basic information,
2. A Signup Form for a Download Software Area that asked for more detail information.

There is some minimum information that is the same on both forms, i.e.,.i., name, address, etc. I am using a separate Conformation form, of course, for each.

My question is; do I use the same back-end Access database for each form, or do I create a separate one; for Registration, and one for the Download area.

What are the advantages and disadvantages?
If its turns out that I should only one database; can I still use separate confirmation forms?
