I have a simple question to a complex structure. What is the best way to setup this example? I have 10 employees identified by their employee number in one table called "employees". In another table I have 15 courses that they have to take (test 1, test 2, test 3, etc.). I want a form (frmTests)that will show their score for each test.
 
well you will need another table with these fields

EmployeeScoreId
EmployeeID
TestId
Score
 
Do you really have your second table set up like Test1, test2, test3,etc? that's not normalized...something like this would be set up like this:

Employee
EmployeeID
EmployeeName

Test
TestID
TestName

EmployeeTests
EmployeeID
TestID
Score

you may also want to add a TestingDate field to EmployeeTests so you know what day the person took the test (if that's applicable)
