   I"m wondering why you need multiple tables if the data is all going to end   
   up in one and be similar again.   
   Why not have all the updates go to one central location, giving access to   
   fields to be updated only to those people that you want to update them.   
      
   I have to guess that certain people update certain fields, and other people   
   update other fields, etc.  So - setup a form with all the fields on it and   
   then turn on the tab stops of each field for each user when he opens the   
   form, according to his "role" in using that form.  Or - even simpler -   
   design separate forms that only allow input to specific fields and only   
   allow a user to open his particular form("view") to update data.   
      
   Or maybe you have something entirely more complex - in which case, good   
   luck!
