Thanks Smokey - that fact will help me understand better how to set up what I need. But - I still have a question about useability of your simple puppy database - when I tried to use it I realised I had to be a bit better organised when defining fields (especially after a glass of vino) and I thought "is it possible for Smokey to build an "undo" button into the gui? I didn't express that very well in my post but I think that one level of "undo" is all that is needed to make the gui much improved.

It is too easy to set a field in stone then think "dammit, I named that field wrong".

One step of "undo" would be fantastic. Multiple steps of undo would be perfection.

What do you think? Is that difficult to achieve?
cheers!

a database is very easy to build, remember data in your basic programs..
The difficulty is management, mainly creating reports.
