    Structural questions


    I am new to Access. I have been studying version 2016 for a few weeks. My question is a how to question. I have been tasked with creating a database that has these features.
    We have 20 separate organizations with a total of 150 people. I would like to link the organizations with the people and also have a table that has personal and professional information of the people listed.
    To access from the persons name the organization they belong to and from the organization name a list of people who work there. I would appreciate anyone who could point me in the correct direction.

    youll need some tables:

    tOrg table
    ------------
    OrdID (auto)
    OrgName
    addr
    etc

    tPersons table
    -------------
    PersonID (auto)
    FirstN
    LastN
    OrgID (long) to show what org they work for.
    addr
    etc

    Im sure youll need some more tables, but I dont know what youre doing with the people.

    You will learn a method to help you with database design by working through 2 or 3 of the tutorials listed below.
    You have to do the work, but you will learn, and what you learn can be used with any database.

    http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/T...getsDesign.zip

    Spend 45 -60 minutes on a tutorial and learn/experience the technique.

    Don't start by experimenting with Access --learn how to design a database first.
    Good luck.
