Hi everyone,

I'm creating a database and wanted some advice on the best way to set up my table.

It is for a service with clients where we need to carry out a review every 6 months, so I need to create a way of entering a date every time a review is completed, then ideally a field that automatically totals the number of reviews that have taken place, and another field that automatically generates the date of the next review due - based on 6 months after the last review date.

Is that possible? It seems silly to keep adding fields for potential reviews as most will only have between 1-3 but in theory it could be as many as 20, which would be a lot of wasted space and fields for most people!

Is there another way round it? Thanks for your help :):cool:
 
Sure; reviews are records in a related table, not fields in your client table. If I've had 3 reviews, I have 3 records in that table.
