i am upgrading a cost calculator from excel to access so need some advice
on
the best way to structure this please!?



You can't "upgrade" from Excel to Access, they are two completely different
animals. As you know, Excel is a spreadsheet application. Access is a
toolkit which enables a user to *develop* an application, it doesn't really
do anything for you straight out of the box.

Is there something you want to do but can't using Excel? If you do go down
the Access route, are you comfortable with the concept of data
normalisation?
