?!It isn't helpful to know what you're facing?! OK, if you'd rather just
jump in ... I haven't "learned" it ... that's a past tense and I'm still learning it. In my case, largely self-taught, and 15+ years of finding approaches that don't work...g.

Are you aware that you have 3 or 4 learning curves to surmount before you can pull this off? You need to understand normalization to use a tool that is optimized for normalized data (i.e., Access). You need to understand how Access does things (hint: not the same way Excel does). You need to understand how to "hide" the stuff Access does, since you won't want to force your users to learn Access too. You need experience building applications ... you wouldn't start out building a house without learning how to, right? Good luck!

Your subject line mentions Access 97. This may further complicate matters,
as suggestions that would work for later versions of Access may not apply to Access 97. As you pursue this and ask further questions be sure to mention every time that you are using Access 97. The links John Vinson provided are well worth checking out. IMHO Crystal's tutorial is as good a place as any to start, but the other links have lots of useful stuff too. I expect you have figured out by now that Steve's "offer" is not worth checking out.

NEVER put ss # in an Access database. It is not secure. You will leave

Just curious...... why is it that Steve hasn't had the plugged pulled on him by Microsoft so that he can no longer post to these newsgroups? Can't they lock him out or something? |

AccessMonster.com and several other sites do is repackage the content and pretend that they own the content. John... Visio MVP "plog" u55818@uwe wrote in message news:9e48ef1012094@uwe...
