Hi John, in addition to the great link Linda sent, please check out this link: http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=accessfaq&Number=373096 The links it contains cover all aspects of normalization along with links to tutorials and working examples. When I first learned there was even a 'normalization' I was so overwhelmed by technical discussions, and I'll say right up front, some of the links in what I've posted here, are way over my head, but there are also some very good explanations and samples. For me, I found no one tutorial fit in my brain with understanding, there were bits and pieces from several sources that seemed to click and finally they came together a little better with time and use, so am hoping you will be able to glean things that click for you, too. Good luck!

I still cannot get my head around it. Is there anybody out there that has some instructions that will help someone that is REAL BASIC when it comes to understanding it. Wrong word to use as I understand what it is, I just can't do it. What I need is something that is in "Laymans" terms and a couple of exercises to get me through it.
