Hi Perhaps you need to design a number of forms. Before that tables have to be designed, which models the data that forms use. Forms are just different views on top of the table/query data. You may need to read a tutorial on databases; the kexi handbook contains largely simplified one. > Simple things should be simple to do. With the information you provided, I dont know if your needs are simple :) Try to use an example database as a starting point too.
