    Complete virgin - some advice please

    Hello all

    I was pointed to the forum by Excel help forum.

    I am challenged with creating a tool that can be used to track job costs and information from quote stage to completion.

    I started by trying to do it with in excel (see attached) but as this is likely to be used by multiple users I have been advised to create a database.

    Being a complete Access virgin could you knowledgeable people enlighten me as to where to start?



    Im looking forward to having a play in Access


    Thanks in advance

    Nelly

    Here are two good resources. Start with this: http://www.deeptraining.com/litwin/d...aseDesign.aspx

    Then after reading that, open this link to begin a tutorial: http://www.accessmvp.com/strive4peace/

    Then post back with specific questions you may have about your database if you have issues.

    Good Luck.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
