See my response to your later post "How to get started of Microsoft Access??"

Please avoid posting, essentially, the same question twice... particularly just a few
minutes apart.

This question is so broad that it does not lend itself to any meaningful response.
Your basically asking "How do I build a relational database?"

The newsgroups are primarily geared towards specific questions to specific problems...

That's about a day's worth of typing to answer all of these in detail. Sorry,
you're being unreasonable!

The "Database Design 101" link on Jeff's site may be the best place to start.
