Rita, Thanks.
I began to do that but then hit a snag on how to handle the adults who are
students and students who are adults. Also, how to record adult students
who have children in a dance class. There are two right now. I want to
record mailing information only once and send it only to the parent or adult
student. I have to give it a lot more thought. I think I'm getting hung up
on calling it a parents table when it really is an adults table.

Rather than thinking of parents and children, try considering it as households
(with addresses and phones) and students. Each Student (child or adult) is a
member of a Household; each household will have one or more Students. This
would let you apply the mailing information *to the household*; the student
table would have a field for the HouseholdID as a link, but would not itself
contain any address information.
