Hi, my name is Jamie and I've just joined. I'm not a web developer by trade but have made some basic websites and have been offered the chance by a friend to build a website for the business he works at. He works for a regional employment firm and therefore need a site which can have job vacancies on the site and a search of those jobs. A database is the only thing I can think off.
Now, I've never made anything like that, I've only made a few basic websites so this is complicated but it would be great to do and I've learnt loads as I try to make this. To begin with i tried MySql but couldnt get my head around it and yesterday downloaded a trial version of Access but am very much struggling to learn how to use that too.
I've looked thru all the Access templates and tried modifying some but they were just to different to what I want. I would like a search box that has a keyword catergory, location menu, etc and when the results are listed I can then click on a job that will then (ideally) load up a pop screen showing a full description of that job.
So any tips on doing this and is it worthwhile doing this on access or is there better software out there?
