Does a free HOA template exist (locations, owners, billing, fines,
variable interst rates, etc.) exist?
I have looked and looked and none of the existing templates in Office are really perfect for managers of (non-profit) homeowners associations. In Excel the different categories of info (tax map, participants of real estate trust w/contact info, special billing for certain services, which contractor is assigned to what and their contact info, whose interest is due this quarter and for what (interest on past due fines is at a different rate than interest on assessments, etc.)and formulas stretch the thing out to row AD. It would be nice if there was an existing template. |

I run a database for a homeowners association, and it's needs (and thus the
database) are completely different than yours. My guess is that you will not find one that meets your description. |

Hello,
It is highly unlikely that you will find a template for your specialized application. You have three options; you can continue to use your Excel workbook, you can create a database application or you can hire someone to build the database for you. If you decide to DIY, there will be frustation along the way to getting it done. Depending on how much you know about Access, doing it yourself could take considerable time as the learning curve is long and steep. If neither of those options appeal to you, I would like to offer to build the database for you. I provide fee-based help with Access, Excel and Word applications. My fee would be quite modest for this application. If you are interested, contact me. Steve "superc" wrote in message ... variable interst rates, etc.) exist?

These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support. There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of "FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he needs to constantly grovel for work. A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the past Christmas period and a few gems from the Access newsgroups to show Stevie's "expertise". Dec 17, 2008 7:47 pm Word 2007 .......... In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format - Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still available in Word 2007? Where? Thanks! Steve Dec 22, 2008 8:22 pm I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape version and design the portrait version. Steve Dec 24, 2008, 1:12 PM How do you protect the document for filling in forms? Steve One of my favourites: Dec 30, 2008 8:07 PM - a reply to stevie (The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create the OP an Access database) Steve wrote: Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a spreadsheet. Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly adequate... Sept 10, 2009 (In respose to a perfectly adequate GENERIC solution stevie wrote) This function is specific to the example but not generic for any amount paid out. Steve Sept 9, 2009 "Steve" wrote in message you can then return all the characters in front of it with the Left() fumction. Would look like: Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1) Steve No, it would not look like Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1) First of all, the constants are vbCr and vbLf: no quotes around them. With the quotes, you're looking for the literal strings. Second, you can't Or together character constants like that. Even if you could, Or'ing them together in the InStr function like that makes no sense at all. Sept 22,2009 Sorry Steve, even I can see that this is a useless answer. I made it pretty clear that "CW259" is just ONE possible value for the control. "Steve" wrote: Hello David, Open your report in design view and select txtOrderID.

To Superc and Tim R.
What you need is someone to help you make some practical decisions on what you want it to do, and then, you will end up with a fairly simple but specialized-to-you requirement. The latter is predicated on the users being careful, and understanding Access a bit. In this case, you might try to get a little paid help, but not from someone who violates forum rules and solicits here. If your users are neither, then it would be a much larger job to make a bulletproof application that persons knowing zero about Access will easily use, in which case those "expensive" apps might not really be expensive. You are both welcome to the DB that I run (for free,) but it is not documented, and is complex/abstract in that it tracks residences, people, their past and present roles and history, business offerings that might be of interest to residents, and prints all of that out (is also a companion to a CAD drawing/map of the subdivision with who lives where ) but does not have a billing section because being Treasurer is "not-my- job-man!" :-) |
