Is Access even the right idea?
I have recently had a large amount of data dumped on me and was asked to
organize it. If the data were finite, it wouldn't be a problem; but it is subject to weekly updates with new records being added. This might take some explaining. . . I work in a university program office and am trying to figure out the best way to keep up with which students are in which degree concentrations, each of which has its own set of requisite courses. For example, there are 5 different degree concentrations with the program; one has only 6 required courses, one has 16. I have projected dates that students anticipate taking the courses that are required for them (e.g., "Spring, 2007"). Keeping up with the basic data (name, address, phone, program, etc.) is fairly simple. I have it set up in Access and Excel. But what I want is some kind of smart form that will know which classes are required of which students based on their concentrations and can create detailed reports showing how many students are projected to take each class during upcoming semesters. Does this make sense to anyone? I'm looking at it and still not sure what to do. Any help with deciding which application (and how) to use would be most appreciated. |
