Price and Volume Variables

message from jagstirling on 5 May 2004
I have a general question based around the fictitous scenario below;
**************************************************
I am a confectioner selling candy and wishing to hold details of my
customers in a table.

One of the fields held is the price each customer is charged for each
type/brand of candy.

The price each customer is charged for my candy is different DEPENDANT
on three factors;

* The quantity that they buy (split into bands as below).
0-10 Items $1.00
11-20 Items $1.25
21-30 Items $1.35

* The type/brand of candy that they buy.

How can I set up my database to ensure that the right price is charged

DEPENDANT ON THE AMOUNT OF CANDY PURCHSED ?
DEPENDANT ON THE TYPE/BRAND OF CANDY PURCHSED ?

For example, if (using the info above) I typed in 9 items I would want
the price $1.00, 23 items would return a price of $1.35 etc etc etc.

In reality my quantity bands are broad so entering individual prices
for each quantity is not an option.

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE ?
