I want to build an employee data base with Access. Is it worth doing with Access??

[dnjtdjq]

I work at a small company and would like to manage employee data with Access.



The main employee data will be that I want to store, manage and utilize are

1. Name
2. DOB
3. Payrate
4. whether all documents are submitted and signed. Tax Form, Staff Profile, and Employment agreement.

So later on, I can check who hasn't submitted any of those documents are make sure we are all up to date.

I think I can easily do this with Excel but as Access is something to do with database, I think I can utilise and use data more efficiently with Access.

Is this worth doing with Access? Any thoughts?

Before making any decisions re Access or Excel, identify the requirement.
Do some research on Database concepts --Google and/or Youtube should be helpful.
Here is a link to more info on Database Planning and design.

You may get some perspective from this material.
