RE: fields

Hi Edmund

200 fields is a lot.

If you just have 1 table with 200 fields I would suggest that you break that table down into lots of smaller tables. The purpose of Ms access is to allow you to have lots of tables that hold similar information, these tables are linked together using primary and foreign keys. You can then run reports and queries to extract data.

Hope this helps

David

Access tip:

Space marks

It is good practice not i to have space marks for field names as this can lead to problems when using queries or VBA code. It is much better to use an underscore charcter to represent spaces in field names
