[AccessD] Table of Names

Yes. The fields are all related to a fire permit. The contact is just
someone they call if they have questions on the permit. A building may
need a fire permit. It is just a contact person (a reference point for
the permit) like a customer. But if the fireman is out & needs to write
the permit he would be a contact person & the issuer & close the permit.
 
So it is no different than the IssuedBy, etc. It is just a person.

So contact isn't the entity then -- the permit is the entity?

I am getting the fields from a form they complete. It is for a fire
permit.
The contact is the Responsible Person Contacted. He might also issue the
permit (IssuedTo) to himself (IssuedBy).
 
Anyway, I have:
Main table (tbl_Permit) that has the ContactID, IssuedToID, etc.
tbl_Type - TypeID, NameType
tbl_PermitNames - PermitNamesID, PermitNames tbl_NameType - NameTypeID,
TypeID, PermitNamesID
 
Do I join each one from tbl_Permit (ContactID, etc) to tbl_NameType
NameTypeID?
 
I still don't see how to create it on the form & reports so the drop
down
boxes will know which type it is?
 
 
***************
As I understand it, Contact is just the name of the person to contact if
there are any queries about whatever it is being tracked. It is no
different
in essence IssuedBy etc.
 
===============OK -- you might be right -- certainly wouldn't want to
complicate the picture unnecessarily.
