jzwp22, Could I just do away with the tblActualVsProposed table and under ChargeType in tblChargeType add 3 more records for ProposedLabor, ProposedODC and ProposedTravel to the current records in that table (ActualLabor, Actual ODC and ActualTravel)?

Thank you so much for all you're help. I have lots of data to move out of those tables now! But at least I'm in the right direction now.

Sorry, I didn't see the error message that the PDF had to be under 100 KB before I hit sent. I've attached as an accdb file.

So if I add a fkActualVSProposed field to the tblContractCharges (reverting away from the duplicate tables of proposed and actual), would this attachemnt reflect how this would then appear?

jzwp22, Ok, I think I get what you're saying and now I'll have plenty to do the rest of the week to rework my tables into a single table :) So I should have: tblContracts: (basically information about the contract. will be used as header information on reports reporting the finances.)...

jzwp22, I plan to use the database to record the monthly charges for each contract. That's why I made each contract its own table as each record is a month charged. Since each contract is for a set period of time I already have the months recorded in each record. Wanted to use the Form and...

Using ACCESS 2007, I have two combo boxes. The first lists all the Tables in the data base. Each table is a contract where I record monthly costs. Based on the table selected from the first combo box the second combo box lists the ReportingPeriod field from the contract table selected in the...
