Hi Everybody,

Starting to draw out a new database and in the past I have had problems in
certain areas of the database seeing the whole field name. I can see this
may be a problem with the names I have below since they would all look the
same if cut off but I tried to make them short but descriptive. Perhaps
it's in the expression builder section and or other places...Anyway, are
there any suggestions?

Also, I notice that many of the same people answer in the different
newsgroups, queries, reports, etc...I usually post in here but have
occasionaly posted in one of the other spots. I won't cross post but what
is the best way to post...I was thinking getting started meant, new users
but it maybe the place I should have come before I went to table design?
What is getting started for?

tblPtVentThpy
PtVentThpyID
VentThpyTypeID_fk
PtVentThpyStartDate
PtVentThpyEndDate
PtVentThpyStartTime
PtVentThpyEndTime
PtVentThpyOrderNum
PtVentThpyFreq
PtVentThpyOrderPhys
PtVentThpyOnProtocols?
PtVentThpyActive?

Thanks,
Linda


I would probably just use VT instead of VentThpy, but you may have a reason
for the longer name. That would shorten the name up a bit.

Cross posting is certainly preferable to multi-posting.
It's acceptable to cross post to relevant groups. Usually
2 or three groups will suffice. So if it's a question concerning
tables cross-posting to the table design group would be acceptable.
If answered in one group the answer will show in all the cross-posted
groups.
