    You have identified data entities and designed a schema which looks reasonable. Now start building.

    Advise not to use all upper case in naming convention (except maybe for FCR because that must be an acronym).
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    One thing that's helpful to do is to create your queries to answer your most important business questions before you build the UI. If you find you cannot answer a business question, then it may mean your design isn't quite right. It's a lot easier to fix before you start building forms etc "on top of" your tables. Your design looks okay. Not a huge fan of the IDs on everything (like value lists... I just think that's overkill, but you do you.)

    Your tables look great but do you have an idea how they will relate?
    If you go into the relationship manager tool in Access, relate the key IDs and upload a screenshot?

    green369,

    Here is a link that may be helpful to you. It is much easier to build a successful database when you have a tested design before getting too deep into detailed programming. Table structures and relationships are critical to database. I recommend you play "stump the model" and refine your design.
