[AccessD] Mucking around

Use a normalized data structure. It is the flexible and efficient way of
entering/storing/maintaining data.

Creating a flat file derived from the data in a normalized data structure
can be as easy as creating a select query. Don't use flat file for data
storage. That would create redundancy, inefficiency and well, eventually a
mess.

Q1: What do I  do with my normalised tables.  If the answer is to leave the
data in the normalised table and then re-post it to a flat table, then why
could that not have been done at data entry.
Q2: If the answer to Q1 is go straight to flat tables, then what do I do
AFTER that.
