Do I Use Arrays of Arrays? (If so how?)

I am building a database and it is basically an employee database. It includes address, department, employee #, etc. The final, and most important, category is the training category. I need to create something similar to what is below.



Employee DB

Employee #1

Address

Phone

Training ---------------> Training DB (will need one for each emp.)

Type of Training Complete Date End Date

CPR 6/1/03 6/1/05

First Aid 6/1/03 6/1/06

etc.



So I have a database of employees, and each employee will need a database of training and its various dates. I would assume this would be the best way to query the information. I am completely open to other suggestions though if you have any. I believe what I have presented above requires using arrays of arrays. I have done some programming in VB, and quite a bit in C++, but I don't know how to do this using access.



My ultimate goal is to be able to query every employee on their training records. For example, I would want to be able to query, in the month of june, which individuals need to be recertified and in what type of training. Any help you guys can give me is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

why would you create 2 databases?



Why not just 2 tables in the same database and then use join commands to get the employee info for each training record.

How would you create a query to search within that second table?
