September 16, 200421 yr many to many to many... (argh!) ? in my database i need to be able to assign multiple values to one field. its a situation where one person can be assigned multiple devices. and one device can be assigned to multiple people. i currently have a users database with a device id and a user database with a user id and both have proper relationships to link old records together. the trouble comes in when i am creating new device records and assigning them to a user. i guess i could make multiple device id fields for each user but the number varies from user to user. some might need 1 some might need 5. and having a bunch of extra fields makes things messy. i hope I've explained that well enough if not I'll try to answer any questions to have you understand it better.
