It is called normalization. Let me guess, you wanted to put all of the lookups into a single table and use something like a category and then queries at each combobox to limit them to a category. Why has this design not died the death it deserves? Why do people continue to try and use it? Also a dogmatic Sagittarian, and a normalization purist. And, yes, I have separate tables for things as simple as Name Suffix. I do not care if there are only 3 or 4 records in the table. About the only thing I do not put in a lookup is gender. And if someone comes up with a 3rd alternative, I will probably change that to a table also. :-) Robert At 11:05 AM 9/26/2007, you wrote: >Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:34:08 -0400 >From: "Susan Harkins" <ssharkins at gmail.com> >Subject: Re: [AccessD] Mucking around >To: "'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'" > <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> >Message-ID: <46fa7bd4.2486460a.7e7f.0c93 at mx.google.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > >I would too, but mostly because the dogmatic Sagittarian in me likes it that >way. ;) > >Susan H. > >Simply put -yes. > > >I meant if you had 30 completely different, not related drop >downs...would you create 30 lookup tables? >Example of dropdowns: State,Phone Type,Status,Name Prefix,ect... > -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
