I am making a new database and need a little help on the design... Im going
to need to see what type of rig (Drilling, Swab, and WorkOver) on a form that
shows the rigs name, make, serial#, ManufactureDate, Model, etc... what would
be a normalized way of setting it up? Thanks.

Another note.. I will have different names for WorkOver (Rig #1 - #20) and
different names for Swab (Rig #1 - #5) and different names for Drilling (5
different names)... if that helps any..

OK.. now I have my tables made. I would link them by RigType - RigTypeID,
RigModelID - RigModelID?  Just to keep in mind, the form has to be pretty
basic and simple for someone to understand and work. Thanks for the time...

Now create a form based on TblRig. Use a combobox or listbox to enter
RigTypeID and RigModelID.
