Actually John, thats how I started it.
The opriginal desing called for 3 tables,
Patient_INFO (1 per patient), name , address, soc, etc
Then a latex screening Table...1 per Patient.
And then a Visit_table.
The visit table had all the stats.
The Visit-table had the final score from each of the tests...thus the test would be perfromed, written down on paper, totaled, and the total entered into the Visit_Table.
Then we embarked on doing away with the paper forms. hence a popup for each paper form, that automatically scored, and the score still placed in the Visit_table.
If I tried to build a text fuield for each test, it would involve using substantial logic , and i would probably have to do something like comma seperated variables within each test_text_filed to seperate the metrics.
But it could be done.
I am curious, even though 40 tables IS Bizzare, do you see anything inherently wrong with it ?
Do you anticipate speed problems ?, Size problems, all of the above ?
