    New to Access and would like to create a database to track words by student and by week 1 thru 6

    I'm new to MS Access. My version is Access 2016 operating on Windows 10. I would some help on getting started by creating tables to track a master word list, with only a list of words, a table to track student list with only first and last names and weekly tables, week1, week2, week3 all the way to week6. In weekly tables I need it to keep track of student by each week. I need to be able to pull up a student an select words and assign them to a specific week. I hope I explained myself okay. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Don't understand much of that. If 'weekly' tables means a separate table for each week, that is not normalized structure.

    tThank you for your quick response. That is why I need help. You may know of a better way to track a student words by each week. Maybe I need help on how to structure my tables. Maybe a table for students with fields week 1 thru week 6 and a table for words. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Further to Alan's suggestion, here is a link to various Database Planning and Design and reference articles. I recommend
    you work through 1 or 2 of the tutorials from RogersAccessLibrary mentioned in the link. You will learn a procedure for database design that can be used with any database, but it is the working through the tutorial that gives you that experience. It will help enforce/reinforce Alan's suggested book.

    Good luck with your project.
