Question : job task list used as a checklist for multiple units?  im lost!

im building a db for inspection checklist, job time recording, and probably other things later.  i am trying to figure out how im gonna get this up and running to begin with and i have a problem with linking two items.  i have a table with job tasks that is kinda the basis for the checklist.  when one item of the table is complete(field check box yes/no) then i need it to be removed from the query list.  heres the thing, i cant delete that record from the table after its complete, there could be another person working the same job item and maybe hes not done yet.  or i cant delete that job task record because there will be another person to use it in the future.  

heres one thought......
maybe i should populate another table for each automobile in the fleet(8 total).  each table would be populated the same with all job tasks for the inspection.  one record per job task.  then i could add the field for the completed check box yes/no for every record.  and then limit my query to all unchecked records.

i dont know of any other way, but right now i have one table of job tasks.  i dont know how i could use that for 8 different automobiles.  what do you think?

sumhungl0,

There are many way to accomplish what you are after.
It all depends on your exact requirements for this project.
With any of the ways you choose, you must understand how to properly design and relate your tables.

Here is one way to do it.
Examne it carefully.
You can create queries to hide or show completed tasks as you see fit.
