I am attempting to create a table view of courses, and have a content type called Course with a few CCK fields:
- Description
- Instructor
- Day
- Time
The issue I am having is when there are multiple instructors, days, and times for the same course. I only want to display the course title once, but all of its associated instructors, days, and times. I have the Instructor, Day, and Time fields set to allow multiple values, but I can't figure out a way to actually create a relationship between the 3 fields as such:
Instructor 1, Day 1, Time 1
Instructor 2, Day 2, Time 2
Instructor 3, Day 3, Time 3
The trouble happens when displaying the times in the view table: it doesn't know that Instructor 1, Day 1, and Time 1 are associated data. Trying to Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

There's new feature in cck v3 (still in dev, but works great) that groups individual cck fields into a single 'combofield'-- might be worth a try. Alternatively, flexifield might be worth a look as well.
Two content types or taxonomy
You could create two content types. The first being for the course which sounds like it may have a title and description. The second content type is your session (specific class) that includes the instructor, day, and time. You can use the node reference of CCK to link these together and Views to display them grouped by course.
The other option would be to create a vocabulary called course and the terms would be the course name. Then you still go with your session (class) content type and just tie them all together with taxonomy.
