Project Management

[Joehayner]

I'm a newby to Access, but am learning in my spare time.

My end goal is to create a project management system where I can schedule multiple employees to multiple tasks within a project and run a report that tells me when and where by person a task is scheduled.

I've so far got some of the basic tables down, but am having difficulty with the forms. These could really expedite the process of entering the data, but I'm at a loss right now for where to learn about how to attach drop down boxes with lists to forms and how to create a button that pulls information from an address book in outlook to create an employee list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get your tables and relationships designed to meet your requirements. Don't worry about forms at this time.
Create some test data and some sample outputs (reports/queries) in simple layout view.
Make sure your data model has the info to produce the output you need (from a data perspective). You can concern yourself with format later.

Also check out this "stump the model approach".

This post has some info that could be useful to you.

Good luck.
