Quick option would be to have a single Text field and list all the interest & hobbies therein.

Create a query with criteria set to a parameter in the format:

Like "*"  &[Enter Hobby] &"*"

 

That would search though the field * find all the records that match your criteria.

Hi all

I am designing a database for my use as a travel agent.  It is intended to be a CRM type database.  I want to track my prospects and clients interests and hobbies.   I have come up with about 60 different selections.  I want to be able to run a query and do a mailing based on these interests and hobbies, eg. all persons who are interested in ballroom dancing.

The only solution I have been able to come up with is have the 60 selections as Yes/No fields in the client table.  I thought about have say 15 max fields and then have a lookup where the 60 selections would be in another table and could be selected for each of the 15 fields.  However this creates a many-to-many relationship.

Keep also in mind that I will sooner or later have this application on my web page so my prospects and clients can enter their own information using a user name and password.

Any ideas, opinions, and comments would be most appreciated.
