    help required with a training database with unique critera

    Hi All,

    I'm a complete novice and I need to set up a training database from scratch. I know what information I require but I don't quite know how to put them together, the database is needed to store Permanent, Agency & Contactors Staff. I need the database to be able to produce reports on how many courses were trained over each month, and the total duration of the course completed (in hours),
    If anyone has sometime to help me, I would be very grateful.

    I envision these tables:

    tStaff
    -------

    firstName
    lastName
    StaffType - Agency, Permanent & Contractor
    WorkLocation
    WorkDepartment
    TotalCostofTraining
    Totalhourscompletedoftraining


    tTrainCourses
    ---------
    trainID
    CourseCode
    CourseName
    CourseCostperDelegate

    tStaffTrain (each persons training history)
    ---------
    CourseCode
    CourseName
    DateOfTrain
    DurationofTraining
    RefresherDate



    I would like to have it work by opening up a individual record and when you enter the course code the record automatically for some courses enters the name and duration of training, and automatically adds a refresher date.

    If anyone up for the challenge of helping this damsel in distress I would be most grateful.
    Thank you in advance

    This type of thing?

    BaldyWeb - Autofill

    Also, I would expect to see a staff ID in the staff/train table. You can use the DateAdd() function to add the refresher date, but I'd expect the interval to be in the course table, presuming different courses could have different intervals.

    Yes - this is perfect. I know it cheeky to ask but is their any way of you giving me some more help in starting the database, as I am completely flying by the seat of my pants here.
