I've moved back to the design steps so I have a question
If I have a table like this
DwgNumber (PK)
DwgTitle
All Possible Drawing Number and Titles are in the table (38 Total)
I want to assign Drawing Numbers to Project Numbers.
So I set up this table
ProjectNumber (PK)
ProjectName
I can see how this works IF I create the DwgNumber and DwgTitle with each ProjectNumber.
But
Without adding new records to the Dwg Table for each Project how would I create Projects with associated Drawings?
I hope this makes sense?????????
Thanks

Yes...Yes

Pat,
Thanks.
So what would be in the "Third Table" ?
Would this be a situation to duplicate the data?
Third Table
ProjectNumber
ProjectName
DwgNumber
DwgTitle
????
I think the Many to Many relationship is what is confusing me.

Thanks
Paul
 
Thanks Pat,
I'll think and try with this info
 
What if....

Pat,
How does this effect the thoughts?
The Dwg Table has about 30 predefined DwgNumbers and DwgTitles.(This is to keep a consistent format. Users are only allowed to select from a list)
So initially the data in the Dwg table is not assigned to a Project #. But as projects are created each project needs to have
dwg #s and Titles assigned to it.
