Okay, I'll try to explain this as best I can:
I have a table of people (hundreds) with names and other info. I also have a table of foods (hundreds) with info.
Currently, I have a field in the "people" table that is a list box whose source is the "food" names. Multiple values are allowed so I can put checks next to the foods that each person likes. So what I get is that Greg has bananas, apples, and peanuts checked. (Yes, I'm replacing the real data. )
Here's what I want to do now. I would like to associate a number with each food that each person likes (a proportion of the person's diet, say). So I want bananas to have a .6 associated with it, apples have a .3, and peanuts have a .1 (but ONLY for Greg). What this seems to require is a 3-dimensional array, but what Access calls an "array" doesn't seem to be what I want. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
