The best advice I can offer is to give you a sense of what's involved. Access is powerful and rewarding to use, but it takes quite a bit of study to master. Noone should expect simply to pick it up and use it - you do need some introductory training. Microsoft have a good introduction at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...582831033.aspx ... and there are good introductory videos (monthly fee) at lynda.com. The most important thing by far to get your head around is table design and "normalisation" - get that right and everything falls into place more easily. Access is a "relational database", with forms, reports and VBA modules bolted on. It's important to understand what a "key" is, and to know how to represent a one-to-one, a one-to-many and a many-to-many relationship between tables representing "entities". There are also templates you can explore, adapt and use: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...33.aspx?av=ZAC ... and many resources on the web. If you add "MPV" to a web query you'll pick up sites run by "Most Valuable Professionals" a number of whom provide free advice here. How's that for starters? Phil, London |

Access is quite capable of doing this... but don't expect it to be quick or easy, it's a powerful program but is correspondingly complex. Here's some good resources to get started: Jeff Conrad's resources page: http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/acc...resources.html The Access Web resources page: http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/index.html Roger Carlson's tutorials, samples and tips: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/ A free tutorial written by Crystal: http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html A video how-to series by Crystal: http://www.YouTube.com/user/LearnAccessByCrystal MVP Allen Browne's tutorials: http://allenbrowne.com/links.html#Tutorials -- John W.
