What will access do?
At my work we have 30 customers. I have to put 26 pieces of information in
records in 3 different places 13 pieces of which are the same. Can I use access to put all informatin in one table, then build forms or reports from that one table so that I only have to enter info one time and not three. If I can do it this way, can I choose which records to put into a report or form, bacause I don't want to use them all. Thanks for any help. -- Tracy |

Thanks for any help. -- Tracy That's exactly what Access is designed to help you do but it is up to you (or the developer) to define the tables and relationships such that data is stored efficiently. Note that you wouldn't normally have just one table where relationships between entities exist (eg customers - products). Have a look at the Northwind sample database that ships with Access, it's a good starting point. Keith. www.keithwilby.com |
