    Databse Tables

    All I have to explain is the following.

    One branch has one region



    Each Branch has two departments Fire &Intruder

    Each Department has there own set of engineersIE Intruder and Fire Engineers

    Each Branch has there own service Manager

    And each branch has the own uniquie id number201f for fire 201 for intruder.

    Then

    You have got the following fields for the maindata entry of the form

    Engid=name
    JDE-Number
    Comments
    CoveringEngId = name
    CovengJDENum
    Coveringcomments
    Mobile Number


    What is the best way to go about this.

    Would it be one engineers table or two.

    Cause idealy the form I would need to createwould need to do the following.


    Select the branch it would then offer you twochoices fire or intruder, you then click on say intruder and it loads up the intruderlist for that branch in order or you to edit it etc.

    One table for engineers with a field for the type (Intruder, Fire).

    Sounds like you will want dependent (cascading comboboxes). Review: http://datapigtechnologies.com/flash...combobox2.html
