Default db design to calculate overlap in group membership in time

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I have looked into spread sheets, but I have settled on access because I
am more comfortable with writing queries in that program and am estimating
that I should have around 80,000 data points, which is more than Excel can
handle. Thank you for your comments and your time. I will try posting under
queries, as it is clear that my question really doesn't fit here.

Thanks again,

Liz

You posted your question in a newsgroup that supports the use of Microsoft
Access. MS Access is a relational database.

It all starts with the data.

It sounds like you want to use a spreadsheet instead (all the data in one
table). Have you looked into that option?
