First off I want to give appreciation to all who've helped others in the past, reading your responses has helped me immensely with my current project. I've literally spent hours reading and it has saved me several times from deadly frustration. :) Now on to my questionaire.
In my program I'm using a number of critical tables loaded with information. I could go either of two ways, my first option is to Open Forms from buttons on a Dummy Welcome/Main form. Another option, and this is where I need input, is Linking all tables together with a central table we'll call "Settings". From the Settings Set, the Program can control every link attached to it. In effect it makes my set design look like a star. I've attached a picture of how I am setting it up, but I would like to know how some other people have designed their Programs, and if this idea is feasible. On my initial test of a Central Form I used a Conditional Object for the centerpiece and a Multi-State Button at the bottom to Move To different areas I've created. This ended up working correctly, however It was more cumbersome and sluggish than other designs. Is this because of Set Linking Limitations? Amount of Records to sift through and link together? I think you get where I'm going with this. Is it something you're tried and if so, how did you get it work smoothly.
Any positive response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
