I think you need more than a 'couple of questions'. I'd suggest more like
15-20. And there is not much point in us suggesting questions unless you know
the answers too.

TIC: Don't forget the 'qualitative' ones e.g.

Q. What would you name a table that models <anything you like here>?
A. <anything they like here so long as the first three letters are
tbl>.

I don't use that convention and I have designed quite a few complex databases.


Q. An Access database has a TEXT column that is constrained by
validation rule to be one of three possible values, the widest being
17 characters. What is the defined width of the column as seen in
Table Design view?
A. 50 characters wide.

How do you know the table designer (or Access Administrator) didn't change the
default length of a text field or the length of that particular field in the table?
