I only 2 Tables: Project and LineItems.
Lineitems contains a bunch of text fields to hold size, qty, mfr, model, sub-model, notes etc. tied to one project (1 to many)
I currently choose a project and then open a form/continuous subform where user enters the lineitems.
without being a fully normalized data model, can I still do something like this:
1. There is a MFR (manufacturer) text box and also MFR combobox selecting a distinct list from the lineitems tbl allows the user to either choose an existing entry or create a new one in the text box.
2. Based on the value chosen in MFR field (if one is selected) cascade several combo boxes for Model, Submodel and then notes? Keeping in mind all fields are in the same lineitems table, but using distinct selects to populate the combos.
I may go fully normalized data model in next phase but wondering if i can pull this off right now.
Thanks
