Hello,
Several months ago someone here posted a link to a site that had a great chart with the i, ii ,IV, V etc chords listed for each key. At the time I looked at it and thought that is nice , but was not quite ready for it. Now I have a friend who will say ok, lets play a ii, V, I, VI progression in __ key ok?? He has all the theory down in his head, but I could use that chart. This is another fine example of why it is a great idea to play with others- it makes you stretch beyond your comfort zone and sparks renewed enthusiam. Thanks for your help.
Notes, chords and key signatures in various keys and their relative minors.Major Relative Key I ii iii IV V vi vii°

Chords are in Roman letters, upper case for major and lower case for minors and diminished (°).
Notes are in Arabic numbers.
This shows the notes and chords for the relative natural minor. Using the harmonic and melodic minor scales makes things somewhat more complicated.
To put it simply, in A harmonic or melodic minor you would very like to use E major or E7 instead of E minor.
I hope this helps.
