Hi.
I have a question which might seems little odd, but I hope I could get some guidance here...
I have a main table, lets call it Project.
I have some seondary tables, which have the realtion back to the Project table, with the Project ID as relation link.
Then - under one of the 'secondary' tables - lets call it Product - i have a table called Location. This Location have releated info into the parrent table Product. So, we could say that Location's parent are Product, and Product's Parent are Project.
The question is - from your experiences - schould I use the same relation (Project ID) for all three tables? The reason I ask, is becaus in the above scenarion, I would have the same Product ID and Location ID in several Projetcs, so it's impossible to use a unique Product and Location ID. Of course, I could use Autonumber in Product table and relate down to Location, but I'm not sure if this is neccessary - if I use the same key for all sub table.
For me, it's not a problem to use sql queries as source for forms both ways, but I'm just not sure what is the most useful solution. And I'm afraid f I start of wrong, I will regrett later.
I'm familiar with two 'levels' (parant-child) of tables, but now I have to deal with three 'levels' of tables (parent - child - childs child), and I see the challange...
Best regards,
Geirr
