Hi :) I tend to prefer swapping things around when i create a database to make things easier to find later. Usually when designing Forms and Reports i prefer finding that all parts of a name are together rather than some being mixed in with lines of an address or first choice of whatever. So, i preferred
Name1st NameLst Adrs1st Adrs2nd AdrPstCd i guess in the US i would use AdrsZip FoneHm FoneFax FoneMobW FoneMobH and such-like but i admit other people find it confusing at first and field-name sizes probably haven't mattered for quite a while now but short means you are more likely to be able to differentiate between similar ones even if you can't give the field much space on a form or have to do something weird with it. Probably just me though. I think keeping the German names would be fine for this 1st release. I did read through the English translations in the spreadsheet and they seemed fine but i don't understand the German side so (again) my opinion doesn't really count. Just my thoughts.
