Hello im stuck.
I am trying to simplify a project management database.
I have bound clients to Projects and when i open a new project i want to be
able to enter a new number (1 - 1000) should open a new table(premade called
Financials) 1001-2000 should open a second premade and 2001-3000 should open
a third. How do i set this up???
I can be reached on msn.

Rather than simplifying it, you are making it more complex and violating good
database design rules.
If the data needs to be separated by those values (1 - 1000), (1001 - 2000),
(2001 - 3000), etc. then rather than several tables you need only one table
with a field that identifies to which group the record belongs. Then when
you need to look at a particular group of data, use a query filtered on that
group rather than the table itself.

If all your tables have the same structure, the method outlined in my
previous post will work). If the tables have different structures, then you
should have a different form for each type of table you have. Then when you
open a new project and enter a number, you could use a Select Case statement
to determine which form you want to open.

I would not mind looking at your database; however, I am in a secure
location and can't import it or receive it in a E-mail.

Ok how do you suggest i get the database off to you??
I mean i can technically zip the file, upload it somewhere.. but where?
