General Question

As I followed your videos from B-1 to EX-13
I noticed that you focused 70 % in building forms.
Does it mean designing tables at first must be perfect to be able to build perfect Queries and forms?
Now I'm hardly try to build perfect tables but it seems very hard to do so.
What is your advises about building perfect tables to get what I want from my database?

Tables are pretty important, in fact nothing else even really matters if you can't reach and use the tables easily. Luckily, you can't really screw them up too much. Find a naming convention that you like and stick to it, I prefer Ricks. (CustomerT, CustomerID, etc) some people like tblCustomer or just Customers, as long as you stick to a theme through the whole database you'll be OK. About the only thing you need to worry about with making tables is making sure you have your relationships setup right. Here's a few videos that might help

You'll never get your tables 100% correct the first time. I'm still modifying tables in databases that are 20 years old. I just spend most of my time teaching forms because that's where you're going to spend 90% of your time developing. Table stuff is relatively easy.
