I created a hierarchy of locations, so that for example the system knows that Holkham is in Norfolk, which in turn is in East Anglia. So I can search for all the birds I've seen in Holkham, or all those in Norfolk, or all those in East Anglia. I did this part of the system in Visual Basic - I know there's a form of Basic built in to Access, but I'm not sure if you could do it with that.
This sounds just what I was thinking about - now how do I find out how to do it????
