Thanks Stephen. It's scary when I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. I don't give up very easy, and now that I've started I guess I have to finish it!
Also, thanks for the offer to look over a few things. That will help a lot.

Todd, I think what you're looking for is an introduction to database normalization. A quick google comes up with something from the WDVL network that looks promising: http://www.databasejournal.com/sqletc/article.php/1428511 here's another: http://databases.about.com/od/specificproducts/a/normalization.htm Once you've plunked your way through a few articles, take a wack at creating an ERD (entity relationship diagram) and post your results here. Rudy, myself and others can probably help spot any potential pitfalls. hth, Stephen Todd Richards wrote: > My question is (taking a deep breath) do any of you have any tips on > things to think about, or processes that you go through when setting > up a new database, or any links on information gathering?
