Hello, novice question as I am not sure if an Access database is right for my needs or if I would be better served with a spreadsheet.
I visit 20-25 different venues each year with my club for either 5, 7 or more days duration and have done so for many years.
As i will be arranging each years events, for the foreseeable future, I want to create something that will let me record all of these visits with start/finish date, name of venue, location, organisers etc. Added to this i want to record details of each venue with contacts, GPS data, phone details and notes etc. so that I can quickly get the details to contact them.
We will return to some venues many times over the years and others just the once.
The ability to be able to see/search for a particular venue and when we last visited, or how many times we have visited would be a must, as would what date did we visit a certain venue.
I have had a quick look at an Events database and i can see the possibilities but it it not quite right for me but I can perhaps edit it slightly with my very basic knowledge. However, I would need to add the contact details etc but not sure how I would go about this.
Hopefully the above make some sense
Is Access my best option or should I go with Excel.
Many thanks for any assistance.
Rob
