I'm sorry I'm still a fairly new access beginner.

Can you tell me what it means to have normalized tables, i've searched, but nothing really tells me what it means in this context.

I think that to have your data normalized means that you structure it in the most efficient way. This is quite an artform. Normalized tables would mean that they are structured so that data is not duplicated, doesn´t take too much space, isn´t stored unnecessarily etc....you get the idea.

There is a lot to learn about this, and I´m definitely not the best teacher. Are you sure you´re not able to find anything with a forum search?

Btw: Was there a specific question?

Fuga.

Have a read of my long post on this thread.

Then search Knowledge Base for 'normalisation' to get more information.

A search on Google will produce a number of good results, too.

It may also pay to have an understanding of Naming conventions, . Many beginners fall into the trap of incorrectly naming objects and fields. This will help later when you start dabbling in VBA.

I too fell into the 2 most common problems by beginners and that was not having an understang why a DBs need to be normalised and naming fields correctly. This will when u need to refer to controls using VB.

Heres a zipped copy .
