Multivalued Fields: How to Use, When to Avoid!

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will teach you about multivalued fields: what they are, how to use them, and when you should avoid them.

In it, she used multivalued fields to track the sales reps assigned to a customer, as there can be several. I've watched many of your videos where you say not to use them, but in all honesty, they seem to work just fine. What's the deal?
