I cannot relate this to the information that I require about the link's though without creating lots of many-to-many relationships and therefore duplicate data.
The attributes I need to store for the links are:
user_id
link_url
link_description
link_type (text or graphic)
link_type_resource (i.e. location of graphic)
link_pos_x (relating to a row in a table so that the links can be sorted)
link_pos_y (relating to a column in a table)
If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated as time is starting to run out, as is my hair!!!!
Many thanks

What I assume you want is three tables
table_1 : Unique data about each user
table_2 : Unique data about a link
table_3 : many to many link table
what's so wrong with that ?
Don't you learn techniques for database design? This example looks fairly simple, but a good idea is to model the database using ORM or E/R. (Don't use UML, it's hopeless for this purpose!).
