Scott, you were right. I have gone through your course today and it has helped tremendously. Thank you so much for recommending it. I wish I had watched it before creating my first base.
If you wouldn’t mind, I still have one question. My base is larger than I’d like and after watching your class, I’ve learned I can handle that by creating different views, and hiding certain fields in each view.
I’m still curious, though, if I could make a new table from a field to break down the information into process levels. My base is designed to track individuals through the process of becoming ordained clergy in the United Methodist Church. I included the entire process (which some people take up to 12 years to complete) into one table and now I wish it had a table for those who are really just exploring a call to ministry, another for those who are preparing to meet with our credentialing committee, and lastly another for those who have met with the committee and now are truly a “certified candidate” for ministry. At that point, I begin tracking them through their education process.
I hope I explained that clearly enough for you to be able to give me an answer.
Thanks again for responding to my question on the community forum board.
