Storing data by year
We manufacture several types of vehicles. Changes are made to each of them
every year. We need to develop a database that will store the model name, the year(s) the model was built, and a list of the drawings that applied to each model, each year. 90% of the data can be carried over each year. The last time we tried this, history was lost when updates for the new year was done. We would appreciate any help. -- Thanks, RRS |

Storing data by year
RRS,
This is a newsgroup for Microsoft Access a database software. It sounds like you want a database but you are not building one. This would not be the place to search for someone. You should try your local universities or Utter Access has a forum where developers post. But if you are looking to build a database you will have be more specific in your questions. Right now, you asked us to build a house with no plans except for 'not like it was built last time'. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "RRS" wrote in message ...

Storing data by year
Gina,
Sorry, I thought I was clear as possible in a short message. In sentence 3, I meant we are developing a database. It also specifies the info we need to store. I planned on a table to store all the models, a table for all the drawings and possibly a table for years, if this is the best way. Do I need a table that stores what model(ID) and year(ID) each drawing was used? I have developed simple databases in the past, however, this one is the hardest I have done. -- Thanks, RRS "Gina Whipp" wrote: RRS, This is a newsgroup for Microsoft Access a database software.

RRS,
Have a look at this and see if it gets you in the right direction... http://www.databasedev.co.uk/vehicle...ata_model.html -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "RRS" wrote in message news Gina, Sorry, I thought I was clear as possible in a short message.

you could use a real database- like SQL Server--
and I'd reccomend finding someone that knows what they're doing-- it sounds to me like you've had data loss.. Newbies can frequently cause data loss. Perhaps if you used a certified SQL Server DBA / Developer, then maybe you wouldn't have to deal with losing data. -Aaron On Feb 12, 4:31*pm, RRS wrote: We manufacture several types of vehicles.
