[MS_AccessPros] Design question

 

I needed to keep the sets of contact records separate for two "clients".  Think of it as the contact lists of two candidates in the same 3 precincts. I knew I was doubling my work when this started but I kept them as two databases at the start.  As you might imagine, I have a fair population of contacts (voters, donors, volunteers) who are common to both so I now want to create a single database but I still have to be able to process Candidate A contacts from Candidate B contacts. 


I already keep a field called "Tags" in each of the Contact_table(s). My plan is to simply add a tag for Candidate_A and one for Candidate_B. When I merge the two Contact_Table(s), I will add the appropriate tags.  I am trying to think this through but I THINK it will allow me to only extract Candidate_A's conacts.


For example, I envision a query that

includes

  •  Candidate_A,
  • Donors,
  • Volunteers

but excludes

  • Deceased, and
  • Moved records.

Good design? Bad design?  Thoughts?
