I am very new to Access and I am working on a database and I need help coming up with a solution:

I am recording data from a bunch of asphalt laying crews. Each crew has a record with a field for production and equipment. Each crew has varying types of equipment and varying quantities of equipment. Therefore, I would need to create a new table for the type and quantity of equipment every time I enter a new record… can someone please help me come up with a solution?

    You do not need a new table for each record, you just need a properly set up table. Let us say:

    Crews table
CrewID
Location
Etc

CrewMembers table
MemberID
Etc

CrewEquipment table
CrewID
EquipmentID
DateIn
DateOut
Etc

Equipment table
EquipmentID
Details
Etc

    With the above set-up, you can have a Crew form with subforms for members and equipment. You can get an idea from this create form to add records in multiple tables
