Thanks Will and Brian for your quick responses. I already started using the addresses for things like bank account and insurance information. But then I got stuck trying to figure a way to use it for something like hardware inventory. Granted, I could create a record for each peice of HW or just manufacturer, then add the necessary fields. However, that seem like a real kludge.
Notes didn't seem to fit as I was looking for something tabular, and not just a block of data. The infolog is a great tool, but there is a lot of extra stuff that makes it cumbersome to work with (in this content). Also it seems like a kludge. What I was thinking about was a module where you had a table with, say, 20 fields of various types (a few data fields, a few char fields, a few tiny text, a couple of text and so forth). A second table would define a kind of "virtual table". For example, it would contain N+2 fields, with the virtual table name and a description, plus the names of the fields within the virtual table. (Perhaps it would need some extra fields, but that's the basic idea) Well, if there is no such thing, I guess I will have to write it myself.
