Hi tbm,

I fell that maintaining such a database might not be a good idea as you
would end up pasting stuff f rom teh text files or word dcoument into access,
or you would have to type tthe information in case you want to record all the
infromation about projects etc.

Any way if you want to minimize the data stored what you can do is creat a
table that would store the contat personal information, another table would
store only the job information i.e. the company name worked, designation,
date of join and date when the candidate quit the job, reason to quit could
also be stored but that might not be necessary, and if you want you can have
store the file name in a field if anybody wants to see the projects done etc.

The table 1 and two will have a candidateid as a link.

I had done such a database for some project if you want to can send it
accross if you send me the mail address.

Hope you find this information useful.

a precis of a resume - this sames time rather than searching for a resume and
reading the whole thing
