Hello,

I'm creating a survey database (Access 07). I have multiple tables and was wondering if you could help me with the design. Currently I have a tblQuestions & tblAnswers which contain only the questions themselves and all the possible answers, respectively. Would you recommend a 3rd table which ties all the responses from the tblQuestions & tblAnswers together? For some reason I'm stumped by this and I'm sure it's a very easy solution.
Thank you!


You need at least a couple more tables: let's call them tblSurvey (one record
for each time a survey is filled out) and tblResponses (related one to many to
tblSurvey, who took the survey and when, and to tblQuestions, which question
is being answered).

For a fully worked out example see
