Church giving database

[tmarsh]

I'm trying to construct a database to track church funds. I posted before and was given a link to a suitable schema but it was too comnplicated for me! Basically I need to track money given to a church through weekly transactions - money is given weekly through a numbered envelope. Each envelope has a number corresponding to the giver. I came up with this:

tb_parishioners
parishioner_id (PK), fname, lname, address etc
tb_FWO_Nos (FWO = free will offering)
FWO_ID (PK), fwo_Number
tb_contributions
Contributions_ID (PK), parishioner_ID (Both PK), week_no, amount, date

This doesn't really work. One giver can have only one FWO envelope but each envelope has many weeks/dates and I'm not sure how to link this. I want the form to have the week no and corresponding date already there so I just enter the amount. Then it has to be able to switch to a different year. Hope this is clear? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

How about this way?

[B]tb_parishioners[/B]
parishioner_id (PK autonumber), fwo_Number, fname, lname, address etc
[B]tb_contributions[/B]
Contributions_ID (PK autonumber), parishioner_ID (FK), week_ID(FK), amount
[B]tbl_Week[/B]
week_ID(PK autonumber), week_no, date
