Import & Export.. i am on contract .. and there is something called Disbursement account in Shipping..which is my current project..I am programming in ASP.. which i going fine... But the tables that i should be creating... is a bit complex .. for which i need help ...
    will it be possible for someone to show me a way or guide me how to do that.
    I am the only IT employee in this company as this company doesnt need IT dept as such..

    I just couldn't understand your question but I suppose it's related with the title line.

    If that's the case you have to remember the golden rule "you have Master and Variable tables... in between two Variable tables you have always to have a Master table" (Does is shows how old I am? LOL)

    Translation:
    If you are modeling two tables that have many-to-many relationship manely table_a and table_b... you have to create table_c which will allow you to have...

    table_a <<---> table_c <--->> table_b

    Good luck!
