[support] HELP! with Views and relational data

[Chris McCreery]

Ok unfortunately I have already started this project and some other areas
rely on some 5 modules so I can't convert to 6.

This is what I want to accomplish.
User logs in creates a profile(usernode) which includes location information
The user can then create a Program(eg. indoor basketball)
Now the user can create an attendance tracking node for the program they
created above.
Users only have access to the content they created.

For reporting purposes as the administrator I would like to be able to see
all the programs created for example by province, organization, or other
data stored in the user profile(usernode) as well I would like to see all
the attendance reports by organization, province, postal code, etc. The
issue I think here is that the user shouldn't have to select their own
organization or  province, postal code when creating a new program or
attendance tracking as this should be created by a relationship to the
usernode. Sorry if i'm not too clear here I'm a bit confused as to how I can
do this in drupal.

Thanks
