[AccessD] Table Structure Ideas

Hi Vlado,

By the "Want the DB to mirror the form" requirement, I assume you mean for the data entry requirement.   How you set up the underlying table structure should be very different.
Is that your understanding as well?

Cheers
Darryl

Hi Everyone,

 

Got a complex form that we're turning into a DB and having difficulty coming up with a good table structure to suit the form and the way the data is collected and input.

 

They want the Access DB to mirror the form. You can see the form here:

As you can see by the example image above the sample are marked as A, B, C, and D, but sometimes they display it vertically and other horizontally, which is confusing the hell out of me. Any idea on how best to design the table structure so the data is easy to work with down the track?

 

Any ideas most welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Vlado
