Basically, I am designing a student planner for a specific major in my university. We are coding in Excel/VBA and using Access as our database. As of now we have two tables "Users" and "Classes". Once a user logs in, we want to show them the specific classes that they have completed along with the classes that they have yet to take. I can't decide the best way to go about doing this without being redundant... Do I need to create a new table for each user, "Last_Name_Classes_Completed" for example, or is there a better way to "add up" all the classes that someone has taken based on the unique "class_id" found in the "Classes" table?

I hope that I was clear in what I am attempting to accomplish, but if you need any more information, let me know.

Yes, that's the way to do it. You will also need "UsersID" in the "Classes" tbl as well.
