How should I go about this?
With many thanks!

So you want to be able to add multiple "child" items to a single "parent" record? Using your example, if you're viewing a Customer record, you want to be able to add multiple Contacts to that Customer record?
If so, you should add a Contacts table, and relate the Contacts table to the Customer table:
tContacts
---------------
ContactID
CustomerID
ContactType
Contact
Notes
etc etc
You'd then create a form (datasheet or continuous) and embed that form in the parent form. Set the Master/Child links to the correct values, and you can then add as many Contacts to a Customer as needed.
