I would like to keep track of meeting or event attaendance of my members but am unsure of how to do this and cannot find anything in the FAQ. I would like to create a new table called event and be able to add to each event the memberid for each memeber that attended from a select or multi select drop box.
E.g wehen entering a new event select the members that attended fropm the member table.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

I think you can create a new Attendance table with fields like ID (autoinrement), EventID and MemberID to keep track of who attended what. You can setup master-details relationship between Events (master) and Attendance (details) to quickly manage attendance data.
Another approach is to setup a multiselect dropdown box to store attending members for each event there. You don't need a new table in this case however this will be more difficult to manage if you have a large number of members.
