Hi,
I'm working on a database to store details of current employees and I'm a little stumped for the best way to approach part of it.
For each person who works for our company, we would like to store details of which tasks they are trained to do. The list of tasks is quite long, possibly 70-80 different tasks initially. New tasks will probably be added fairly often. Most staff members will have been trained on 20-30 tasks.
The only way I can think of to do this is to have a separate table linked to my main staff table by staffID with a yes/No field for each task. However, that seems terribly inelegant and I wondered if anybody has a better suggestion?
Regards
Duane
