Is it possible to create several enumeration fields within one table that end users can populate without having to make a completely separate table for each field? i.e.,

A company in "Branch A" only accepts certain equipment....in this case...it's computers......so they will build their lists using fields like

Service Type: Express, Standard, Overnight
System Make = Toshiba, Compaq, Dell, etc...
System Type = Laptop, desktop, netbook, etc...
Color = Black, White, etc...

Let's say another branch, B, doesn't work on computers...but they fix phones and they want their own list of equipment fields to use phone stuff and not reflect the computer list.


I would like to have have one back end page layout where each branch can have their own lists and alter them according to their own needs. I just can't seem to create a dynamic enumeration list that an end user can edit(add or remove listed items) without making a separate table and then linking it with a FK.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
