I'm creating a mini-CRM system for a couple of our telesales employees.
I have very basic knowledge in Access so bear with me. :) So far I
have three tables...

Contacts (the people to call)
Sales Activity (where call activity is logged)
Topics (product to call for)

I want to be able to continually add contacts to the contact table
around different topics. Contacts can have multiple topics and sales
activities. Then, I want to create a form with Contacts with a subform
of activities for them to input the activites around a certain topic.
How do I link the tables together and what's the best way to create a
form (or multiple forms) that will allow them to log the activity
around the topics? Thanks!

The heart will be your Sales Activity table. Each record in here will
have one customer -- linked by an ID field to your customer table,
and one sales rep, linked by an ID field to a table of sales reps.

Make your tables first, then make a form from them using the wizards.

Thanks for the reply. Where does the Topics (products) table get
linked?
