Hi need to design a database for work, not very good at it so need some help.

It's a fairly simple database with just one table needed at the moment. It involves customers loaning an item (which has 3 variants in sizes) and sometimes they will return them so I need two columns (one for items returned, one for items remaining)

After the usual columns such as address/name ill have:

Bottle 1|Bottle 2|Bottle 3|Deposit Paid|Bottles Returned|Bottles Remaining|


So if a customer loans 2 of each then returns 1 x bottle1 and 1 x bottle2 I want to know the amounts returned and amounts remaining.

It would be good if I knew how much of each type he returned and how much remains.

How would I do this in access, would I need multiple tables?
 
Done that, now how do I make a relationship with it so when the customer line is filled in on the customers tables it matche the other line on the items tables.
 
It's been 10 years since I last made a access database, now im married and got a kid.

Makes everything 10 times harder to understand lol.

It looks like it does most things, im trying to remember what primary keys and foreign keys are all about.
