No, you never need to keep a multi-value field. Just create the standard 1-m relationship and use a subform to maintain it rather than the "cool" control you get with the multi-value field. You'll thank me later.so I need to keep the multi-value field.
Mushing attributes leads to lots of issues. You could use two separate fields for your Rev so you have type and number. you can even make the number sequence over all or within type for each drawing. Or, you can leave it alone. Once you add the autonumber, you can sort on autonumber to get the rev sequence. This only fails if you are playing catch up and enter revs out of order.
