Default One field, multiples entries

Patrick

I'm with Larry ... yes, you can, but WHY?!

Sticking more than one fact in one field means locating the one fact among
many in the field just got that much more difficult!

Far easier to use related tables ... and you seem to be describing a
one-to-many relationship. One record in your (main) table could have zero,
one, or many related records in a second table.

Good luck!

Many eyars ago I used a database language called "PICK", this enabled you
to
have a field with multiples entries in one record of a table. I read
somewehre that Access 2007 had this capability, I cant find areference to
this, can 2007 do this?

Rather than have a table referencing a second sub table
