Table and multiple choices for data

I am trying to set up a table/form where a user enters some parts data, one of which is # of bad pieces, and then they have a category of "bad" that is tied to the # of bad pieces entered, but I also wanted to see if I could set up multiples instances of # bad pieces and category so that if User A has 200 bad pieces of Product X with a category of "Bad bonding" and then 100 pieces of Product X with a category of "Bad Print" that they can do this and it all ties to the same original record ID.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
 
Soudns like you could model this similar to an inventory system. For instace, you have a table of parts:
tblParts(partID, name, ...)

and you have a table of defective parts:
tblDefParts(defPartsID, partID, qty, reasonID, ...)

and finally you have a talbe of the reasons the goods are defective:
tblReason(reasonID, name, ...)

This allows for the same part to have multiple listings of defectiveness. The form is simple, make it a datasheet of tblDefParts.

Hope this gets you closer to the solution
