That's an idea, I would probably taken the USE AGAIN option as I am against using Local Views over our LAN, it tends to slow the app down considerably.

However, I'm still considering the 3 tables, because when you make a change in, say, the 3rd table, it will be related to the other 2 tables, so a record change in table 3 will then reflect in table 1 & 2 - this will make relationships easier, rather than having related records all in the same table.

Does that make sense.

Thanks
