Hi Andreas and James I have some ideas for this project and just wanted to give you both the = information I have collected over the last 13 years supporting Student = Administration Systems 1. A school admin system has to work as a Standalone (one PC), LAN ( = Network within a School), WAN ( Wide Area - Across a state or country). 2. Some unusual things to consider. A school may be on one site or on = many sites ie ( main site and one on the other side of the town). 3. People (staff) may work at many schools and still need to access = data at their other schools. 4. The system may be used by a state school system where the data needs = to be centralised, or in a region. Here is what I believe is needed. Each table will need to have a field that identifies a unique ID for the = site. A simple example is for the students name. site id: 0678 Student id: 1234567890 Student name: Williams Given: Jeffrey Preferred: Jeff I look forward to any comments. regards Jeff |
