First of all, Hello.
I'm here looking for some assistance with a little project that I'm working on. So here we go:
I work in the aviation industry, and as you know, the aviation industry is very regulated. One of the requirements is to have a "List of Effective Pages (LEP)" towards the beginning of the document which is a list of every page in the document and the revision level and date for that page - this is a requirement of our regulatory oversight/flight safety so it's not optional. This LEP is one hell of a task when you have over 80 manuals and every single one has about 100 pages which almost weekly a couple dozens of them change and have a new revision date.
I am looking for an easier solution in Access, if it's possible, and some assistance due to the fact that I've never worked in Access before.
Now, I'm working with a self made LEP in Excell, which is limited by it's nature and hard to work with. I would really like to have an entire database of pages in which I can modify a page, and all the various LEPs would auto-process the new date/revision/deletion/renaming so the new LEP can be printed easily.
For example:
XX airport is in 30 of the 80 manuals. As I modify XX page 1 date in the database, all the correspondent manuals have the LEP updated with the new page.
The LEP is structured like this:
1. Name column; 2.Page Number column; 3.Date/revision column.
Thank you and best regards,
