As much fun as it is to build a database from scratch, sometimes it is good
to start with something that works, and then modify it to fit your needs. Therefore, you may want to look at this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101426031033 "aceswami" wrote: I am using excel at the moment and would like a database that would make it easier for me. |

I have looked at that one and I couldn't figure out how to make it work for
what I am needing it for. I give a lot of office supplies and copies to about 10 different stores. If you have an idea on how to make it work for me I am all ears.

If you are saying that you want to acquire a database that already does what
you need done, have you searched for commercial products? As "awesome" mentions, designing and building a database application that does exactly what you want is not a trivial task...

I haven't- the company I work for probably won't let me buy new software for
that. I will just have to figure out how to make my own. aceswami "Jeff Boyce" wrote: If you are saying that you want to acquire a database that already does what you need done, have you searched for commercial products?

If you've not used Access much nor developed relational databases nor
developed applications before, make sure your company realizes that the learning curve on Access can be steep. You may end up taking quite a while to build what you are describing. Using a template (i.e., knowing how to adapt a template to your specific requirements) is one of the skills you'd need to build before being able to build a customized application. Best of luck!
