Thank you both!
It is actually combining 5 different samples to create a new single sample.
Each of the 5 samples has specific characteristics(data) and we are wanting to combine the 5 to create a unique new sample with a new set of characteristics. Some will be measured and some will be through calculations based on data associated with each of the 5 samples used.
Now some new information as I discussed the suggestions with the project manager this evening was that they want us to be able to use the newly created samples in future combinations as one of the 5 samples used to create a new combination. Same rules apply that once a unique sample is used in a combination it can no longer be used in any future combinations. All samples, including those created through the combination, have a unique 8 digit text serial #.
This is getting outside the scope of what I was asking in the initial question and I need to re-evaluate the app.
If you have any further thoughts I am always grateful for any advice/help.
Either way, Thank you both for your time and thoughts!
