The answer to the 2nd question is to build a table incorportating a many to
may relationship between the person and location.

That would go a long way to solving your first problem as well.  As far as
the multiple countries and all that go, depending on your application, you
may want to store all locations (province, state, country) in the same
table and give them different IDs.  Forget the post office type location
codes.  Do something like this.

Location_id     Location
1                          Ontario
2                           New York
3                           England

Good luck.

****************
I'm trying to build something for a client that will allow people to match
up with each other based on a variety of different criteria.

Each person fills out the same form but they are allowed to make multiple
selections for each criteria. For example if one person chose ON, NS, QU as
their Provinces and another person chose ON, MN, BC. That would register as
a match. Here is the tricky bit. the Client wants to allow the user to be
able to choose multiple Countries and about 8 other variables are also
going to have more than 1 possible answer. I'm not sure how to handle this.

Another Question.
Right now all of the multiple variables are stored in the same field as
comma delimitated lists. Is there a way I can compare a list to a list? If
I can do that I'll be set.
