I am having trouble with a db(attached) I am building; I needed to do the following:
Keep track of the orders that Dr’s submit with all the criteria checked.
Keep Patient’s information tied to the Dr who orders the work and the vendor where it was send.
Date when it was picked up from Dr’s office, estimated date for delivery and delivery
date.
The Dr’s will have preset settings that will show anytime their name is selected on the form as the provider. This presets must remain constant for every record created.
The settings should have their own table and form so the office manager can change, add or delete at any given moment and be available instantly.
The kicker is that if Dr Smith is selected and option 1 and 2 are displayed as presets, BUT, this particular patient does not need option 1. The manager wants to be able to uncheck option 1 with out affecting the main presets table. So in other words those changes will only record under that specific patient but when another order is entered, the original presets show.
I have created tables, queries and forms but I am not able to come up with a way to save the values entered without changing the presets table.
Sorry for the long description, I understand if unable with this mess
Thanks anyway

Your database is not normalized, do a search here and you will find many discussions and links about normalization.
I think this survey example may also help you.

You are correct. It is not normalized. I will check the survey example. I know I can do better than this but for some reason I am drawing a blank on this particular Db.
Thank you for your reply
